Continuous variables were compared with a two‐sample t test or Wilcoxon signed‐rank test. Categorical variables were compared with the chi‐square test. The ordinal categorical variable was compared with the Kruskal‐Wallis test. Wilcoxon signed‐rank test was used if a difference between groups was observed. Uncontrolled hypertension, hypertensive patients with uncontrolled blood pressure (SBP ≥ 140 mm Hg or DBP ≥ 90 mm Hg).
