Table 2:
Phenotypic classification of hypertension based on ABPM and clinic BP measurements19
| Category | Clinic SBP or DBP* | Mean ambulatory SBP or DBP |
|---|---|---|
| Normal BP | <95th percentile 9 (<13 years) <130/80 (≥13 years) |
95th percentile or adolescent cut points* (<13 years) <125/75 mmHg 24-h and <130/80 mmHg wake and <110/65 mmHg sleep (≥13 years) |
| WCH | ≥95th percentile (<13 years) ≥130/80 (≥13 years) | |
| Masked hypertension | <95th percentile (<13 years) <130/80 (≥13 years) |
≥95th percentile or adolescent cut points* (<13 years) ≥125/75 mmHg 24-h or ≥130/80 mmHg wake or ≥110/65 mmHg sleep (≥13 years) |
| Ambulatory hypertension | ≥95th percentile (<13 years) ≥130/80 (≥13 years) |

Including 24 h, wake, and sleep BP. WCH: White coat hypertension, SBP: Systolic blood pressure, DBP: Diastolic blood pressure, BP: Blood pressure, ABPM: Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring
