The final manual reading should occur as close to 24 hours since prior dosing as recorded on the CRF. (The patient might need to repeat the ABPM if the monitoring is < 24 hours in duration, reference Appendix 11.3.3.) If you see Ecxx (i.e. error code) on the ABPM display, take another reading to ensure you have a captured BP reading. Remove the monitor from the patients arm. 8.

Analyses of primary and secondary events considered censoring due to losses to follow-up (e.g., participants for whom the primary event status was unknown on the closing date), non-cardiovascular disease -related deaths (as appropriate), and the closing date of the study. Losses were censored at the date the primary event status was last known (either the date provided by the site during the closeout process; or the date of the last follow-up visit).
