The prevalence of pre-existing hypertension was significantly higher in the idiopathic than in the secondary CTR group (50.9% vs 14.6%, p&lt;0.001). The odds ratio was 6.0 (95% CI 3.6 to 10.1). The percentage of patients without adequate blood pressure control was also higher in the idiopathic than in the secondary CTR group (23.1% vs 4.9%, p&lt;0.001). When compared with the fracture group, patients with idiopathic CTR also had a significantly higher prevalence of hypertension (50.9% vs 14.9%, p&lt;0.001), and the odds ratio was 5.9 (95% CI 4.5 to 7.8). After correction for age, the odds ratio of having hypertension was 3.6 (95% CI 2.1 to 6.3) and 6.6 (p&lt;0.001, 95% CI 5.0 to 8.8) when compared with the secondary CTR group and fracture group respectively.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>There is a strong association between pre-existing hypertension and idiopathic CTR.
