Association of hypertension phenotype with all-cause mortality

(adapted from Banegas et al. [33] using Cox regression model)

BP Phenotype	Descriptiona	All-cause mortality hazard ratio (95% CI)
Normotension	Normal clinic BP, normal 24-h ABPM	Reference
White-coat hypertension	High clinic BP, normal 24-h ABPM	1.79 (1.38–2.32)
Sustained hypertension	High clinic BP, high 24-h ABPM	1.80 (1.41–2.31)
Masked hypertension	Normal clinic BP, high 24-h ABPM	2.83 (2.12–3.79)

Values represent patients on treatment and without chronic kidney disease

ABPM ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, BP blood pressure, CI confidence interval

^aNormal clinic BP defined as < 140/90 mmHg. Normal 24-h BP defined as < 130/80 mmHg
