Differences in Mean Systolic and Diastolic Diagnostic BP and Mean Daytime ABPM by Randomization Group*

N Mean (SD) Mean (SD) Mean difference (95% CI) P-value‡
Systolic BP
Clinic 142 138.7 (11.8) 133.9 (13.5) −4.7 (−7.3, −2.2) <0.001
Home 152 137.2 (10.7) 137.1 (11.5) −0.1 (−1.6, 1.5) 0.92
Kiosk 140 137.4 (11.5) 147.1 (14.0) 9.5 (7.5, 11.6) <0.001
Diastolic BP
Clinic 142 86.0 (8.9) 79.2 (8.3) −7.2 (−8.8, −5.5) <0.001
Home 152 86.0 (8.5) 85.8 (8.2) −0.4 (−1.4, 0.7) 0.52
Kiosk 140 86.8 (9.9) 91.2 (10.3) 5.0 (3.8, 6.2) <0.001

*Among individuals who had ≥1 diagnostic (clinic, home, kiosk) measurement, and ≥14 daytime ABPM measurements

+Linear regression models adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, education, and baseline systolic and diastolic BP (from screening visit), estimated with generalized estimating equations with robust (sandwich) variance estimation

P-value for mean difference between each method and ABPM. We also tested the difference between groups for the outcome of mean difference between diagnostic and ABPM measures. Differences in systolic BP were significant at P<.001 for clinic vs. home and home vs. kiosk, and P.002 for clinic vs. home. Adjusted mean difference in diastolic BP between groups was significant at P<.001 for clinic vs. home, clinic vs. kiosk, and home vs. kiosk.
