Abstract 20: Association Of Systolic Blood Pressure Time-in-target Range With Adverse Kidney And Cardiovascular Outcomes In Adults With And Without Diabetes

Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension associates with both kidney and cardiovascular (CV) disease risk. Time-in-target range (TTR) associates with CV risk independent of mean SBP and SBP variability. We hypothesized that SBP TTR predicts both adverse kidney and CV outcomes. Methods: ACCORD BP and SPRINT trial participants with >=2 SBP measurements were eligible, except ACCORD standard BP lowering participants due fewer SBP measurements. SBP TTR for months 0-3 was calculated using Rosendaal linear interpolation with target ranges of 110-130 mm Hg and 120-140 mm Hg for participants in the intensive or standard arms, respectively. Adverse kidney outcomes included dialysis, kidney transplant, serum creatinine > 3.3 mg/dL, sustained eGFR of < 15 mL/min per 1.73 m 2 or sustained eGFR decline >40% after month 3. Adverse CV outcomes included myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure and CV death. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to estimate the association between TTR and adverse outcomes after demographics, clinical risk factors and baseline SBP adjustment Results: Participants with higher TTR were younger, less likely to have preexisting CV disease and had less albuminuria, higher eGFR and lower baseline SBP. In fully adjusted models accounting for baseline SBP, higher TTR independently associated with a lower risk of adverse kidney and CV outcomes (P-trend < .001 for each). Whereas the relationship between TTR and CV risk increased monotonically with higher TTR, the TTR association with kidney risk was greatest at the extremes of TTR ( Figure ). Conclusions: Further reductions in adverse kidney and CV outcomes may be achievable through sustained SBP control.
