↵a P-value calculated by univariate multilevel analyses. ABPM = systolic ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. ABPMday = daytime systolic ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. ARR = aldosterone-to-renin ratio. BMI = body mass index. Home BP = home systolic blood pressure. IQR = interquartile range. OSAS = obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome. PA = primary aldosteronism. SD = standard deviation.
