*Among patients for whom blood pressure data were available. Achievement of targets was determined on the basis of the average of the last 3 measurements (or whatever was available) taken in the 2 years before the study. †Data missing for 12 199 (21.3%) of the 57 180 patients with hypertension. ‡Data missing for 2694 (21.6%) of the 12 476 patients with both hypertension and diabetes.
