  Figure 1. Receiver operating characteristic curves based on variables included in multivariate analyses in predicting masked uncontrolled hypertension defined by daytime blood pressure (BP) threshold (a), regardless of nighttime BP, and by 24 h BP threshold (b), regardless of daytime or nighttime BP. Abbreviations: AUC, area under the curve; CI, confidence interval.

  Figure 2. Receiver operating characteristic curves based on the score systems in predicting masked uncontrolled hypertension (MUCH) defined by daytime blood pressure (BP) threshold (a), regardless of nighttime BP, and by 24 h BP threshold (b), regardless of daytime or nighttime BP. For MUCH defined by daytime BP threshold, the score is as follows: clinic systolic BP 130–139 mmHg = 3 points; clinic diastolic BP 85–89 mmHg = 1.5 points; men = 1 point; smoker = 1 point; left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy = 1 point. For MUCH defined by 24 h BP threshold, the score is as follows: clinic systolic BP 130–139 mmHg = 1.5 points; clinic diastolic BP 85–89 mmHg = 2 points; men = 1 point; smoker = 1 point; LV hypertrophy = 1 point. Other abbreviations: AUC, area under the curve; CI, confidence interval.

  Figure 3. Internal validation of the models using 10-fold cross validation for masked uncontrolled hypertension defined by daytime blood pressure (BP) threshold (a), regardless of nighttime BP, and by 24 h BP threshold (b), regardless of daytime or nighttime BP. Abbreviations: AUC, area under the curve; SD, standard deviation.
