Key result
Systolic orthostatic hypertension at 3 minutes was independently associated with all-cause mortality (HR 2.31; 95% CI 1.14-4.68), whereas overall OH and OHT were not.

Does not support orthostatic testing for mortality risk stratification in practice; leaves open the prognostic value of timed systolic responses.

Does orthostatic hypotension or orthostatic hypertension impact all-cause mortality in community-dwelling adults?
Hazard Ratio: 1.23 (95% CI 0.72–2.1)
Systolic orthostatic hypertension at 3 minutes after standing is an independent predictor of all-cause mortality, adding valuable prognostic information during routine examination.
Velilla-Zancada et al. (2017) reported a cohort. Orthostatic hypotension (OH) and orthostatic hypertension (OHT) vs. Normal blood pressure response to standing was evaluated on all-cause mortality (HR 1.23, 95% CI 0.72-2.10). Systolic orthostatic hypertension at 3 minutes was independently associated with all-cause mortality (HR 2.31; 95% CI 1.14-4.68), whereas overall OH and OHT were not.
