Background: Failure to diagnose and adequately classify newly-diagnosed hypertensive patients may lead to non-recognition of White Coat Hypertension (WCH) and inappropriate use of antihypertensive medications. This study determined the prevalence and predictors of white coat hypertension among newly-diagnosed hypertensive patients in a tertiary health centre in Nigeria.
Methods: One hundred and twenty newly-diagnosed hypertensive patients and 120 controls were recruited for the study.
