Abstract
Dear Editor, Thanks for your interest in our recently published systematic review.[1] We appreciate your concern about missing the study on the effectiveness of a school-based educational intervention to improve hypertension control among schoolteachers in Kerala state of India.[2] Although we did try to include all the studies published during the period as mentioned in the review by following a systematic search strategy. We went through your paper and your study is a very well-conducted study, however the probable reason for missing the study could be that neither the title nor the key words included nurse-led or nurse-facilitated intervention. Hence, the article did not appear in our systematic search. In case of any subsequent review, we will definitely give an opportunity to the article. Financial support and sponsorship Nil. Conflicts of interest There are no conflicts of interest.
