Key result
Statistical base mean blood pressure criteria predicted hypertension severity (target organ damage) more accurately than daytime mean blood pressure criteria (89% vs 53%, P<0.01).
Why the study?
Does the statistical base mean blood pressure (MBP0) calculated from sleep-time ABPM and ECG accurately predict hypertension severity and offer high reproducibility in patients with essential hypertension?

Does the statistical base mean blood pressure (MBP0) calculated from sleep-time ABPM and ECG accurately predict hypertension severity and offer high reproducibility in patients with essential hypertension?
Absolute Event Rate: 89% vs 53%
p-value: p=<0.01
Statistical base blood pressure calculated from sleep-time ABPM and ECG is highly reproducible and accurately predicts the severity of hypertensive organ damage.
Tochikubo et al. (1998) conducted an observational in Essential hypertension (n=206). Statistical base mean blood pressure (MBP0) criteria vs. Daytime mean blood pressure criteria was evaluated on Predictive accuracy for hypertension severity (target organ damage) (p=<0.01). Statistical base mean blood pressure criteria predicted hypertension severity (target organ damage) more accurately than daytime mean blood pressure criteria (89% vs 53%, P<0.01).
