Likelihood of having BP measured multiple times or being asked to monitor BP at home, according to patient and practitioner characteristics (stratified by diabetes status)

	Likelihood of multiple BP measurements (n (%) in each group) (difference (95% CI))	Likelihood of being asked to monitor BP at home (n (%) in each group) (difference (95% CI))
In participants with diabetes
If the participant was hypertensive versus normotensive	46/103 (44.7%) vs 28/80 (35.0%), difference=9.7% (−4.5% to 23.9%)	24/159 (15.1%) vs 13/120 (10.8%), difference=4.3% (−3.6% to 12.1%)
If the participant had treated hypertension versus untreated hypertension	40/93 (43.0%) vs 6/10 (60.0%), difference=−17.0% (−49.0% to 15.0%)	22/141 (15.6%) vs 2/18 (11.1%), difference=4.5% (−11.2% to 20.2%)
If BP was measured by a GP versus a nurse	16/38 (42.1%) vs 56/139 (40.3%), difference=1.8% (−15.9% to 19.5%)	11/38 (28.9%) vs 15/139 (10.8%), difference=18.2% (2.8% to 33.5%)
In participants without diabetes
If the participant was hypertensive versus normotensive	2/6 (33.3%) vs 9/28 (32.1%), difference=1.2% (−40.3% to 42.7%)	14/41 (34.1%) vs 0/14 (0.0%), difference=34.1% (19.6% to 48.7%)
If the participant had treated hypertension versus untreated hypertension	8/23 (34.8%) vs 1/5 (20.0%), difference=14.8% (−25.3% to 54.9%)	9/32 (28.1%) vs 5/9 (55.6%), difference=−27.4% (−63.4% to 8.6%)
If BP was measured by a GP versus a nurse	9/21 (42.9%) vs 2/11 (18.2%), difference=24.7% (−6.4% to 55.8%)	7/21 (33.3%) vs 4/11 (36.4%), difference=−3.0% (−37.9% to 31.8%)
