Risk of cardiovascular events according to masked uncontrolled hypertension definition when compared with controlled hypertension
| Unadjusted | Adjusteda | |
|---|---|---|
| HR (95% CI) | HR (95% CI) | |
| Daytime MUCH (regardless of nighttime BP) | 2.21 (1.60–3.06) | 2.01 (1.45–2.79) |
| Nighttime MUCH (regardless of daytime BP) | 1.83 (1.31–2.55) | 1.53 (1.09–2.15) |
| 24-hour MUCH (regardless of daytime or nighttime BP) | 1.90 (1.37–2.63) | 1.69 (1.22–2.34) |
| Daytime MUCH only | 2.04 (1.07–3.86) | 1.52 (0.80–2.91) |
| Nighttime MUCH only | 1.47 (0.94–2.29) | 1.15 (0.74–1.80) |
| Daytime + nighttime MUCH | 2.75 (1.85–4.08) | 2.29 (1.53–3.42) |
Abbreviations: BP, blood pressure; CI, confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio; MUCH, masked uncontrolled hypertension.
