REGRESSION, CAROTID ARTERY DISEASE
Baseline data are presented as mean ± SD or frequency and percentage. Highly skewed variables (hs-CRP) are presented as median (25In sensitivity analyses, we performed weighted Cox regression based on the propensity score to balance the baseline characteristics of the dippers and nondippers. We performed these analyses in the entire study cohort and in subgroups with lower extremity PVD and carotid artery disease, respectively. The propensity score was obtained by multiple logistic regression, including all variables from Baseline characteristics of the study cohort.Values are mean ± SD, median (25th, 75th percentiles) or Kruskal–Wallis test Medication as defined in the COPART risk score (i.e., aspirin, ACE-I, ARB, or statins).Amb, ambulatory; ABI, ankle–brachial index; ACE-I, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor; amb, ambulatory; ARB, angiotensin receptor blocker; BMI, body mass index; BP, blood pressure; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; hs-CRP, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; ICA, internal carotid artery.Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS statistical software for Windows, version 26 (IBM, Armonk, NY, USA) and R 3.5.3 (R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria).
