Cross-classification of masked hypertension (MHT) status defined using ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) by MHT status defined using home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM)

Classification Any MHT Status
Home MHT Status Without Any MHT Any MHT
Without Home MHT 238 (71.5%, 66.6% – 76.3%) 58 (17.4%, 13.3% – 21.5%)
Home MHT 9 (2.7%, 1.0% – 4.4%) 28 (8.4%, 5.4% – 11.4%)
Daytime MHT Status
Home MHT Status Without Daytime MHT Daytime MHT
Without Home MHT 262 (78.7%, 74.3% – 83.1%) 34 (10.2%, 7.0% – 13.5%)
Home MHT 13 (3.9%, 1.8% – 6.0%) 24 (7.2%, 4.4% – 10.0%)
24-hour MHT Status
Home MHT Status Without 24-hour MHT 24-hour MHT
Without Home MHT 260 (78.1%, 73.6% – 82.5%) 36 (10.8%, 7.5% – 14.1%)
Home MHT 14 (4.2%, 2.0% – 6.4%) 23 (6.9%, 4.2% – 9.6%)
Nighttime MHT Status
Home MHT Status Without Nighttime MHT Nighttime MHT
Without Home MHT 251 (75.4%, 70.7% – 80.0%) 45 (13.5%, 9.8% – 17.2%)
Home MHT 17 (5.1%, 2.7% – 7.5%) 20 (6.0%, 3.5% – 8.6%)

Data are expressed as number (percentage, 95% CI)

Any MHT was defined as having daytime MHT, 24-hour MHT, and/or nighttime MHT on ABPM

Daytime MHT was defined as mean SBP ≥ 135 mmHg and/or mean DBP ≥ 85 mmHg using BP readings during the daytime period on ABPM

24-hour MHT was defined as mean SBP ≥ 130 mmHg and/or mean DBP ≥ 80 mmHg using all available readings on ABPM

Nighttime MHT was defined as mean SBP ≥ 120 mmHg and/or mean DBP ≥ 70 mmHg during the nighttime period on ABPM

Home MHT was defined as mean home SBP ≥ 135 mmHg and/or mean DBP ≥ 85 mmHg on HBPM

ABPM: Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring

CI: confident interval

DBP: Diastolic blood pressure

HBPM: Home blood pressure monitoring

MHT: Masked hypertension

SBP: Systolic blood pressure
