Relation between inpatient and outpatient blood pressure (BP) recordings. Outpatient BP control measured using median of three outpatient BPs before admission and defined as well controlled if systolic blood pressure (SBP)<140 mm Hg, high if SBP 140-179 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) 90-100 mm Hg, or very high if SBP≥180 mm Hg or DBP>100 mm Hg. Inpatient BP control defined by number of elevated BP recordings and defined as severely elevated if ≥3 recordings of SBP>180 mm Hg, moderately elevated if ≥3 recordings of SBP>160 mm Hg without meeting criteria for severely elevated, or not elevated
