  1. Blood pressure categories based on updated definitions from the 2017 AAP guidelines
  2. Nocturnal hypertension: SBP/DBP load ≥ 50% by ABPM
  3. White coat hypertension: Casual BP ≥ 95th percentile but normal ABPM (mean 24-h SBP/DBP < 95th percentile and SBP/DBP load < 25%)
  4. Masked hypertension: normal clinic BP but mean 24-h SBP/DBP > 95th percentile and SBP/DBP load ≥ 25% by ABPM
  5. *Unclassified: elevated clinic BP (> 90th but < 95th percentile) with normal ABPM
