Factors associated with week-to-week blood pressure (BP) variability in the 6 months before death. Week-to-week variability is defined as root mean squared error (MSE). Estimates of change are adjusted using a fully adjusted model and generalized estimating equations to account for clustering of weekly estimates within patients and clustering of patients within nursing home. Hypertensive medication type was also included in the model and is presented in Supplementary Figure S2 online. Bars represent 95% confidence intervals. Solid circles represent P < 0.05.
