aTRH, apparent treatment-resistant hypertension (systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥140 and/or ≥90 while taking ≥3 antihypertensive drugs or number of antihypertensive drugs ≥4); CHD, coronary heart diseases; cHT, controlled hypertension; CKD, chronic kidney disease (defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 ml/min/1.73m2; cHT: systolic and diastolic blood pressure <140/90 mm Hg while taking 1−3 antihypertensive drugs); HR, hazard ratio; IR, incidence rate; ucHT, uncontrolled hypertension (defined as systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥140 and/or ≥90 while taking 1 or 2 antihypertensive drugs).

a

All models were adjusted for center, sex, diabetes (defined as use of antidiabetic medication or fasting glycemia ≥7.2 mmol/L or nonfasting glycemia ≥11 mmol/l), history of cardiovascular events, body mass index, hypercholesterolemia, smoking status, and education level.

b

All interaction between hypertension control status and chronic kidney disease.

c

All cardiovascular mortality included deaths from stroke, coronary heart disease, strict sudden death, heart failure, and other cardiovascular deaths.

d

Cardiovascular deaths other than stroke or coronary heart disease included heart failure, strict sudden death, myocardiopathy, unlocalized aneurysm, and other cardiovascular deaths.
