Blood pressure outcome of adrenalectomy in primary aldosteronism. Percentages of patients with hypertension cure following surgery in studies with more than 50 patients. Studies are classified according to the definition used for hypertension cure. One study was discarded[79] because of a large overlap with a more recent study[22]. One study involved patients from two centers as a derivation sample and a validation sample respectively [24]. Due to significant heterogeneity across studies, a random effects model was used to estimate the combined effects.
