Second 24-hour ABPM (ABPM2) | Reproducibility | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Ambulatory hypertension | No ambulatory hypertension | Kappa | 95% CI | ||
First 24-hour ABPM (ABPM1) | Ambulatory hypertension | 79 | 18 | 0.72 | 0.63–0.81 |
No ambulatory hypertension | 18 | 167 |
The data are expressed as the number of participants, and kappa statistic with 95% CI. Bolded numbers represent the number of participants with concordant results across the 2 ABPM recordings. Any ambulatory hypertension is defined as daytime hypertension (mean awake systolic/diastolic BP ≥135/85mm Hg) and/or nocturnal hypertension (mean sleep systolic/diastolic BP ≥120/70mm Hg).
