Diagnoses of Patients Not Initially on Medications after Initial HBPM Results Received, Stratified by Office Blood Pressure Technique (n = 84)
| Diagnosis | Method of OBPM | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| AOBP ≥ 135/85 (n = 42) | Observed Average of 3 BP ≥ 135/85 (n = 19) | Single Observed BP ≥ 140/90 (n = 23) | |
| New HTN, n (%) | 22 (52) | 12 (63) | 11 (48) |
| White coat HTN, n (%) | 14 (33) | 4 (21) | 11 (48) |
| Diagnosis unknown (no initial HBPM received), n (%) | 6 (14) | 3 (16) | 1 (4) |
Fisher's exact test was used to determine whether the proportion of diagnoses differed by OBPM technique (P = .39).
AOBP, automated office blood pressure; BP, blood pressure; HBPM, home blood pressure measurement; OBPM, office blood pressure measurement; HTN, hypertension.
