CRD SUMMARY: This generally well-conducted review found that telmisartan provided better control of blood pressure than losartan in hypertensive patients without an increased risk of associated adverse events. The review appeared to be generally well conducted, however, the possible presence of publication bias and some clinical heterogeneity should be borne in mind when interpreting the conclusions.
