Estimated prevalence (%) of patients meeting the criteria for “clinic,” daytime, nighttime, and 24-hour hypertension stratified by sex, age groups, NHS Admission Method, and NHS Specialty according to the European ESC/ESH and American ACC/AHA guidelines (Supplementary Table ST-2 online). Abbreviations: DBP, diastolic blood pressure; F, female; M, male; SBP, systolic blood pressure. Daytime SBP (DBP) is the mean systolic (diastolic) blood pressure measurements taken during daytime hours (10:00 am to 7:59 pm). Nighttime SBP (DBP) is the mean systolic (diastolic) blood pressure measurements taken during night hours (midnight to 5:59 am).
