a Data at 6-month time point does not reflect full sample size as in-person visits were limited due to the COVID-19 pandemic. b Blood pressure values at 12-months were derived from both home blood pressure measurements (self-reported) and in person automated office blood pressure measurements due to restrictions for in-person visits during the COVID-19 pandemic
