Outcome	Black patients			White patients
	Ever (n = 82)	Never (n = 84)	P value	Ever (n = 21)	Never (n = 79)	P value
SBP, mm Hg	138.8 (134.0–143.5)	134.7 (131.4–137.9)	0.13	139.7 (125.1–134.3)	132.7 (127.3–138.1)	0.47

Data are mean estimates and 95% confidence intervals from generalized estimating equations analysis adjusting for patient age and sex and controlling for nesting of patients within physician.

Abbreviations: DBP, diastolic blood pressure; SBP, systolic blood pressure.
