Table 4.
Odds ratios (95% CI) of the association with target organ damage as dependent variable for daytime, nighttime and weighted standard deviations, and for average real variability (for each mm Hg increase) of systolic brachial and aortic blood pressure before and after adjustment for the corresponding BP absolute values
| Parameter | Unadjusted | Adjusted for 24‐ h, day, or night BP |
|---|---|---|
| Brachial | ||
| Daytime SD | 1.21 (1.11‐1.32) | 1.17 (1.07‐1.28) |
| Nighttime SD | 1.08 (1.00‐1.16) | 1.04 (0.96‐1.12) |
| Weighted SD | 1.25 (1.12‐1.38) | 1.17 (1.05‐1,30) |
| ARV | 1.31 (1.16‐1.49) | 1.21 (1.06‐1.39) |
| Aortic | ||
| Daytime SD | 1.22 (1.11‐1.34) | 1.18 (1.08‐1.30) |
| Nighttime SD | 1.08 (1.00‐1.17) | 1.05 (0.97‐1.14) |
| Weighted SD | 1.26 (1.13‐1.41) | 1.83 (1.30‐1.35) |
| ARV | 1.30 (1.14‐1.48) | 1.26 (1.10‐1.44) |
ARV, average real variability; SD, standard deviation.
Target organ damage considered when the patient presented either left ventricular hypertrophy, renal damage (either reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate or albuminuria), or increased aortic pulse wave velocity.
