Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Home blood pressure monitoring provides superior prognostic information regarding mortality compared to screening measurements.
Home blood pressure measurement had a stronger predictive power for mortality than did screening blood pressure measurement for a general population. This appears to be the first study in which the prognostic significances of home and screening blood pressure measurements have been compared.
