Table 3.

 Mean of second and third surgery measured systolic and diastolic blood pressures over course of study in 374 participants with surgery measured blood pressure results

Blood pressure measurement Mean (SD) blood pressure (mmHg) Adjusted difference* (usual care−monitored) (95% CI) P value Adjusted only for baseline difference (usual care−monitored) (95% CI) P value
Baseline 6 months
Systolic:
 Monitored 153.1 (15.2) 144.7 (16.1) 4.63 (1.74 to 7.51) 0.0017 4.31 (1.38 to 7.23) 0.004
 Usual care 152.5 (14.5) 148.8 (14.7)
Diastolic:
 Monitored 92.4 (11.6) 86.9 (11.8) 2.83 (1.03 to 4.63) 0.0021 2.82 (1.00 to 4.64) 0.0024
 Usual care 90.1 (11.4) 88.3 (11.2)

*Adjusted difference between treatment groups for baseline blood pressure and minimisation factors.
