Authors' conclusion

In nondiabetic hypertensive patients, the 3-month TTR 110 to 140 mm Hg index was independently associated with 2-year MACEs.

Study context

Population
SPRINT participants with complete systolic blood pressure (SBP) records, excluding those with events in the initial 2 years280 with MACE
Participants
7,134 participants
Comparison
SBP time in target range indices and MACE
Primary endpoint
MACE:
  • Heart attack
  • Stroke
  • HF
  • CV death

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

MACE per SD increase in 3-month TTR 110-140 mm Hg · median follow-up 3.91 years

Hazard ratio

0.898

95% CI 0.788–1.022

3-month TTR 110-140 (per SD increase)
HR 0.898 (95% CI 0.788–1.022)

Per SD increase, as printed

Further findings

MACE by mean SBP subgroups, good early control (3-month time in target range (TTR) >0.65)

No difference in MACE between mean SBP subgroups
P = 0.88
  • Cutoff 0.65 identified by threshold saturation analysis

MACE by mean SBP subgroups, poor early control (3-month TTR ≤0.65)

Higher mean SBP of 130 to 140 mm Hg related to increased MACE risk
P = 0.019
