Table 4. Adjusted Association of Baseline N-Terminal Pro–Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP) and Blood Pressure With Development of Hypertension at 2 to 7 Years After Deliverya,b.
Measure | Hypertension, adjusted OR (95% CI) | |
---|---|---|
No (n = 3276) | Yes (n = 817) | |
NT-proBNP, median (IQR), pg/mL | 64.0 (41.0-96.0) | 54.0 (35.0-83.0) |
NT-proBNP, per doubling in value | 1 [Reference] | 0.82 (0.74-0.89)c |
NT-proBNP, per doubling in value, controlling for systolic blood pressure | 1 [Reference] | 0.84 (0.77-0.93)c |
Abbreviation: OR, odds ratio.
Adjusted for age, race and ethnicity, body mass index, smoking, and aspirin use.
This characteristic is included in statistical models after a logarithm transformation (base, 2). ORs for log-transformed quantities are interpreted on the multiplicative scale.
