Flow chart of the study population. ABPM indicates ambulatory blood pressure recording; CBP, conventional blood pressure; NT, normotension (CBP <140/90 mm Hg); sustained NT (CBP <140/90 mm Hg and daytime ambulatory blood pressure [dABP] <135/85 mm Hg); M-HT, masked hypertension (CBP <140/90 mm Hg and dABP ≥135/85 mm Hg); stage 1 HT, stage-1 hypertension (CBP 140–159/90–99 mm Hg); and stage 2 HT, stage-2 hypertension (CBP ≥160/100 mm Hg). An ABPM was considered of insufficient quality if the number of daytime readings was <10 or the number of nighttime readings <5.
