Defined as an average diastolic blood pressure <60 mm Hg and systolic blood pressure ≥100 mm Hg

†

Absolute risk differences were calculated by subtracting the percent of events in the isolated diastolic hypotension group from the percent of events in the no isolated diastolic hypotension group (before values were rounded)
