Nine patients were diagnosed with cerebral edema and 4 had hypertension.

^

Subjects were under 5 years of age.

*

12 month old infant had lowest SBP percentile with admission (pre-treatment) SBP of 77mmHg (“clamped down”) but all remaining SBP during hospitalization were greater than 80mmHg.

Δ 11/19 patients with hypertension (SBP > 95th percentile) had diastolic blood pressure > 95th percentile and 17/19 patients with hypertension, as defined in this study, had admission diastolic blood pressure percentiles ≥ 90th percentile.

New diagnosis of TIDM is reflected by “0” in column addressing # of years with TIDM.
