Preprocedural Hypertension Is Not a Risk Factor for Postoperative Bleeding following Image-Guided Core Needle Breast Biopsy

Table 2

The distribution of the systolic and diastolic blood pressures stratified by preprocedural hypertension.

	Preprocedural hypertension (n = 104)	Normotensive (n = 228)	value	Prolonged bleeding (n = 32)	Normal hemostasis (n = 231)	value
Systolic blood pressure (mm of Hg)	152 (14)	121 (11)	<0.001^	131 (17)	131 (18)	0.944
Diastolic blood pressure (mm of Hg)	87 (8)	77 (7)	<0.001^	81 (9)	80 (9)	0.461

Mean (standard deviation). ^{^}Statistically significant value (<0.05).
