A PROPOSAL FOR A NEW HIGH RISK THRESHOLD ASSOCIATED WITH VISIT-TO-VISIT OFFICE BLOOD PRESSURE VARIABILITY AND ITS EFFECT ON ALL-CAUSE MORTALITY

Background Elevated visit-to-visit office blood pressure variability (VVOBPV) is a proposed mortality risk predictor. Analysis of the association of VVOBPV quintiles with all-cause mortality used Cox regression adjusting for mean SBP, comorbidity history, medication history, and demographics.
