Proportion of target changes in the same category that represent an increase in the target value, % (no.)* |
41 (33) n = 80 |
SAP to SAP increase, mm Hg, median (IQR) |
+10 (10 to 10) |
MAP to MAP increase, mm Hg, median (IQR) |
+5 (5 to 5) |
Proportion of target changes in the same category that represent a decrement in the target value, % (no.)* |
59 (47) n = 80 |
SAP to SAP decrease, mm Hg, median (IQR) |
–10 (–15 to –7.5) |
MAP to MAP decrease, mm Hg, median (IQR) | –5 (–5 to –5) |
Note: CI = confidence interval, IQR = interquartile range, MAP = mean arterial pressure, SAP = systolic arterial pressure. *Denominator is no. of patients who had new targets of the same blood pressure variable.
