Diagnoses of Patients Initially on Medications after Initial and Final HBPM Results Received, Stratified by Office Blood Pressure Technique (n = 99)
| Diagnosis | Method of OBPM | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| AOBP ≥ 135/85 (n = 48) | Observed Average of 3 BP ≥ 135/85 (n = 21) | Single Observed BP ≥ 140/90 (n = 30) | |
| Existing uncontrolled HTN, n (%) | 21 (44) | 15 (71) | 17 (57) |
| White-coat BP elevation, n (%) | 20 (42) | 5 (24) | 12 (40) |
| Unknown (no initial HBPM received), n (%) | 7 (14) | 1 (5) | 1 (3) |
Fisher's exact test was used to determine whether the proportion of diagnoses differed by OBPM technique (P = .19).
AOBP, automated office blood pressure; BP, blood pressure; HBPM, home blood pressure measurement; OBPM, office blood pressure measurement; HTN, hypertension.
