 HTN Factors Associated With Increased Risk of Secondary

Variable Logistic Regression Likelihood Function Analysis
OR (95% CI) P Value LR
Abnormal RUS findings 4.89 (1.99–12.01) .001 742.9
DBP z scorea 3.33 (1.49–7.46) .003
Young age (5–11.9 y) 2.22 (1.09–4.53) .03 22.9

Abbreviations: DBP, diastolic blood pressure; OR, odds ratio (OR >1 and P<.05 statistically significant); LR, likelihood ratio (between 1 and 8 = weak evidence, between 8 and 32 = moderate evidence, and >32 = strong evidence); RUS, renal ultrasound. aFor the 12‐ to 19‐year‐old age group.
