Nomogram based on clinical features at a single outpatient visit to predict masked hypertension and masked uncontrolled hypertension: A study of diagnostic accuracy.

ABSTRACT: Patients with masked hypertension (MH) and masked uncontrolled hypertension (MUCH) are easily overlooked, and both cause target organ damage. We propose a prediction model for MH and MUCH patients based on clinical features at a single outpatient visit. Data collection was planned before the index test and reference standard were after. Thus, we retrospectively collect analyzed 804 subjects who underwent ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) at Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University. These patients were divided into normotension/controlled hypertension group (n = 121), MH/MUCH (n = 347), and sustained hypertension (SH)/sustained uncontrolled hypertension group (SUCH) (n = 302) for baseline characteristic analysis. Models were constructed by logistic regression, a nomogram was visualized
