However, there is a lack of information on optimal blood pressure control for general inpatients.  
  .  The risks associated with an abnormal discharge blood pressure in a general inpatients are not known.  
In this study we quantify the risk of post-discharge outcomes through a  range  of systolic blood pressures (SBP).  We hypothesize that the lowest risk would occur in readings that are normotensive and an increased risk would be observed at high or low SBP values.
1. discharge vital abnormalities are common, approach is not consistent 
2. inpatient hypertension not well studied in general patients  - CV morbidity and mortality 
3. RCT's/ Metanalysis emphasize that lower BP improves CV outcomes in ambulatory/ long term setting 
4. Range of BP and quantification of risk not done 
CKD, CHF, stroke, and CAD
