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.

a

Adjusted for age, race and ethnicity, body mass index, smoking, and aspirin use.

b

This characteristic is included in statistical models after a logarithm transformation (base, 2). ORs for log-transformed quantities are interpreted on the multiplicative scale.

c

P < .05.
