Table 3 Chart blood pressures as predictors of daytime mean blood pressures on 24 hr ABPM

From: Relationship between blood pressure measurements recorded on patients' charts in family physicians' offices and subsequent 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring

Predictor

Number(%) with elevated daytime mean systolic on 24 hour ABPM

Number(%) with elevated daytime mean diastolic on 24 hour ABPM

Number(%) with daytime elevation of either systolic or diastolic on 24 hour ABPM

Number(%) with daytime elevation of both systolic and diastolic on 24 hour ABPM

Elevated systolic blood pressure only on chart (N = 268)

185 (69%)

56(20.9%)

188(70.1%)

53(19.8)

Elevated diastolic blood pressure only on chart (N = 15)

7(46.7%)

4(26.7)

7 (46.7)

4(26.7%)

Both systolic and diastolic BP elevated on the chart (N= 152)

99 (65.1%)

55(36.2)

104(68.4)

50 (32.9%)
