ObjectivesTo analyze the metrological characteristics of hypertension-related clinical trials registered on Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR), and discuss the characteristics and developmental trends of hypertension clinical trials registration in China.MethodsChiCTR were searched to collect hypertension-related clinical trials from inception to March 25th, 2018. The characteristics of registered trials were analyzed.ResultsA total of 135 registered trials were included, in which the trials from Beijing, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Chongqing and Shanghai accounted for 55.5%. 115 trials were pre-registered. The top three funding sources were from finance (32, 23.7%), self-financing (25, 18.5%) and hospital (20, 14.8%), respectively. Of all 79 randomized controlled trials, 55 were blank/missing in the entry of blinding method.ConclusionsThe number of hypertension-related clinical trials in ChiCTR tends to increase, however there are large regional disparities and incomplete, non-standardiazed information in the registration of clinical trials. The relevant departments should increase the publicity on the registration of clinical trials, raise the awareness of registration, and promote the development and registration of high quality clinical trials.
