Age-specific systolic blood pressure (SBP) risk curves for mortality and morbidity subsequent to an urgent care (UC) visit.

Part C shows percent hospitalization within 3 days of an UC visit, and part D shows percent hospitalization within 3 days of an UC visit. Published “normal” ranges are noted by vertical dashed lines.¹²–¹⁵ The solid lines represent point estimates and the dotted lines are 95% confidence intervals.
