Table 2 BP and control rate

Variable	At baseline (n = 600)		At 3 mo (n = 436)		At 6 mo (n = 502)		P-value
Variable	n	Mean ± SD	n	Mean ± SD	n	Mean ± SD	P-value
SBP (mmHg)	600	148.5 ± 13.1	430	132.6 ± 14.9	493	133.5 ± 14.6	< 0.001^a
DBP (mmHg)	600	89.7 ± 10.5	430	79.5 ± 10.6	493	79.8 ± 10.7	< 0.001 ^a
BP control rate (%)^b	600	0	430	64.2	493	65.5	< 0.001^c

SD standard deviation SBP, systolic blood pressure, DBP diastolic blood pressure
^aP-value for visit effect by mixed model for repeated measurement
^bSBP < 140 mmHg and DBP < 90 mmHg at each observation period
^cP-value for visit effect by binary logistic regression using generalized estimation equations method
Among the total number of patients at each observation, those with no data on BP were excluded in the analysis
