Comparisons of blood pressure in non-disabled and disabled singleton cases and their matched controls and disabled singleton cases attending special schools (who have no controls)
| Blood pressure | Non-disabled singleton cases (n=128) | Matched controls (n=128) | Mean of differences between cases and controls (95% CI) | Disabled singleton cases (n=11) | Matched controls (n=11) | Mean of differences between cases and controls (95% CI) | Disabled cases with no controls (n=23) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Systolic | 114.7 (SD 12.8) | 111.5 (SD 10.6) | 3.2 (0.4 to 6.0) p<0.05 | 112.1 (SD 14.9) | 111.0 (SD 7.8) | 1.1 (−9.3 to 8.8) not significant | 110.0 (SD 12.9) |
| Diastolic | 59.4 (SD 8.2) | 58.3 (SD 7.5) | 1.1 (−0.7 to +2.9) not significant | 59.0 (SD 7.4) | 58.5 (SD 7.1) | 0.5 (−4.9 to 6.9) not significant | 62.0 (SD 11.8) |
