Pediatric #hypertension prevalence with 1 vs. 2 vs. 3 within-visit blood pressure readings (#NHANES 2013-2020) | Journal of Human Hypertension #openaccess Thx @drjosflynn for sharing https://t.co/yToIdt3PCI

Culmination of >3 years’ work involving an amazing group of experts from around Australia. Special call-out to lead author, Dr Nick Larkins, and Steering Committee Chair @KidneyCathy. It has been a pleasure leading this initiative with you both!
@spjuraschek What excellent work! Would be great to do this study again in future with a family based intervention for children (and parents) with high BP. Will have to pick your brain!

@drjosflynn@IntPedHTN@ASPNeph@JPerinatology Interesting! I do wonder whether the AAMI criteria (error 5 +/- 8 mmHg) is too broad for this population though. This leads to limits of agreement range of 32 mmHg, compared with absolute SBP ~35-65 mmHg and DBP ~17-40 mmHg. That translates to pretty big % errors allowable.

Higher blood pressure in prepubescent children predicts a faster rise in arterial stiffness (PWV) over just ~4 years.

Not all BP monitors are validated and inaccurate devices can mislead diagnosis and treatment.
In collaboration with @MenziesInst, @StrokeFound, and the @WorldHyperLeag we have created a guide to help you check your device.
