Association between various recent blood pressure measurements and risk of a CVE after adjusting for age, race, sex, and the mean value of the 8 most recent systolic blood pressures.1
| Blood Pressure Measurement | OR2 (95% CI) | p |
|---|---|---|
| Single most recent measure of SBP | 0.9 (0.7–1.2) | 0.62 |
| SD of 8 most recent SBP measures | 1.1 (0.9–1.3) | 0.48 |
| Maximum of the 8 most recent SBP measures | 1.2 (0.8–1.6) | 0.40 |
| Mean of the 8 most recent SBP | 1.1 (0.9–1.5) | 0.42 |
| Single most recent measure of SBP | 1.0 (0.8–1.2) | 0.88 |
| SD of 8 most recent SBP measures | 1.1 (0.9–1.3) | 0.39 |
| Maximum of the 8 most recent SBP measures | 1.1 (0.9–1.5) | 0.36 |
↵1 Each row in the model is based on a different regression model that included the measurement for that row as well as age, race, sex, and the mean value of the 8 most recent systolic blood pressures.
↵2 OR are scaled so they are interpreted as the factor by which the odds change for every SD increase in the measure. CVE: cardiovascular event; SBP: systolic blood pressure; DBP: diastolic BP.
