Key result
The 24-h blood pressure cut-off points that best predicted daytime criteria for isolated clinic hypertension of <135/85 and <130/80 mmHg were 132/82 and 127/77 mmHg, respectively.

These 24-h cut-offs may refine isolated clinic hypertension diagnosis; leaves open prospective outcome validation before practice change.

What are the optimal 24-h ambulatory blood pressure cut-off points to predict daytime criteria for isolated clinic hypertension in untreated hypertensive patients?
Odds Ratio: 1367.1
24-hour ambulatory blood pressure cut-offs of 132/82 mmHg and 127/77 mmHg accurately predict daytime criteria for isolated clinic hypertension, potentially improving diagnostic reproducibility.
Vinyoles et al. (2010) conducted a cross-sectional in untreated hypertension (n=6,176). 24-h blood pressure cut-off points vs. Daytime blood pressure thresholds was evaluated on Prediction of isolated clinic hypertension defined by daytime BP <135/<85 mmHg (ICH1) (OR 1367.1). The 24-h blood pressure cut-off points that best predicted daytime criteria for isolated clinic hypertension of <135/85 and <130/80 mmHg were 132/82 and 127/77 mmHg, respectively.
