ABSTRACT

The reply of Hermida et al. (2020) to our critical comments on the MAPEC and HYGIA Lemmer and Middeke (2020) studies in this Journal is insufficient and incomplete. Hermida does not address our first and main point on the baseline blood pressure values of 131/77 mmHg over 48 hours comprising 57.4% of the treated hypertensives (according to Table 1 in HYGIA) and consequently 42.6% of the untretated hypertensives! We criticized that in the HYGIA study; both normal and treated patients were included in one group not separated by statistics and without information on the baseline blood pressure values in each subgroup. This basic failure is our key issue of criticism and the basis of unreliability concerning the whole publication. This issue was not picked up in the recent comment of Hermida et al. (2020). They just concentrated on minor points in order to reject our severe criticism.

摘要

Hermida等人的回复。（2020）对我们对MAPEC和HYGIA Lemmer和Middeke（2020）研究的批评意见是不足和不完整的。Hermida并未解决我们在48小时内基线血压值131/77 mmHg的第一个重点，这包括57.4％的治疗性高血压（根据HYGIA表1）和42.6％的未矫正的高血压！我们在HYGIA研究中批评说；正常患者和接受治疗的患者均被分为一组，未按统计数字分开，也没有每个亚组的基线血压信息。这个基本的失败是我们批评的关键问题，也是整个出版物不可靠的基础。Hermida等人在最近的评论中未解决此问题。（2020）。
