In the crude regression model, the odds of EPH (odds ratio (OR) 1.15, 95% CI 1.04 to 1.28) and CPH (OR 1.69, 95% CI 1.44 to 1.99) were higher among patients with HTN compared to those without HTN. HTN-EPH as well as HTN-CPH correlations continued until the confounders were adjusted in the second model. Here, CPE is linked to hypertensive disorder.
