MethodsThis was a retrospective cohort study of US veterans with CKD with uncontrolled systolic hypertension. Uncontrolled systolic hypertension was defined as SBP≥ 130 mm Hg and/or use of antihypertensive medications. All blood pressure measurements were obtained from clinical practice. Patients were followed until the primary outcome of all-cause mortality or end of study period. Median follow-up time was 6.0 years. To model therapeutic interventions resulting in improved blood pressure control, patients were categorised on the basis of SBP recorded during their follow-up visits, either achieving SBP< 120 or 120–139 mm Hg on at least 50% of all follow-up visits. To account for possible bias caused by differences in baseline clinical characteristics in reference to subsequent SBP, propensity scores for the likelihood of SBP< 120 vs 120–139 mm Hg were generated.
