Key result
OBP and ABPM relationship shows no sex differences, except for nighttime systolic measurements.
Why the study?
Factors such as sex and hormonal activity may intrinsically influence differences between office blood pressure measurement and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, warranting evaluation.
Does sex influence the discrepancies between ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and office blood pressure measurement in subjects with known or suspected hypertension?
Population
872 subjects with known or suspected hypertension
Comparison
ABPM vs OBP across sexes

Minimal sex differences in ABPM-OBP discrepancies should not alter monitoring; leaves open whether night-time systolic exceptions merit sex-specific thresholds.
Observational (n=872)
No

p-value: p=<0.05
ABPM and OBP show moderate correlation but significant dispersion, indicating they cannot be used interchangeably, with minimal sex differences in their discrepancies.
Liguori et al. (2021) conducted an observational in Known or suspected hypertension (n=872). Female sex vs. Male sex was evaluated on Difference in the relationship (regression slope and correlation) between Office Blood Pressure (OBP) and mean Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) values between sexes (p=<0.05). No significant difference between sexes was observed in the relationship between office blood pressure and mean ambulatory blood pressure values, except for systolic measurements during the night.
