a

Symptoms experienced not specific to COH diagnosis or no OH diagnosis.

b

Systolic blood pressure range of deficit >30% from baseline at 60 s, (%). COH ex. First 15s: COH excluding the first 15 s after postural change. COH sust.: COH with sustained low blood pressure. COH, ex. IOH within 15s: COH without IOH occurring in the first 15 s post postural change.
