Abstract
Introduction
Higher blood pressure levels are associated with vascular dysfunction as early as childhood. Here, we aim to compare two blood pressure devices for use in childhood populations within a school setting to screen for elevated blood pressure in children.
Methods
Systolic and diastolic blood pressure, mean arteriolar pressure (MAP) as well as heart rate (HR) were measured with the validated Oscillomate 9002 and Mindray VS-900 in 82 randomly selected children between 10 and 12 years taking part in the EXAMIN YOUTH study in 2020. Measurements were performed after 5 min at rest in a sitting position in the school environment.
Results
Both devices showed strong correlations for systolic (r = 0.62, t[80] = 7, p < 0.001) and diastolic blood pressure (r = 0.73, t[80] = 9.52, p < 0.001), MAP (r = 0.75, t[80] = 10.22, p < 0.001) and HR (r = 0.89, t[79] = 17.77, p < 0.001). There was no evidence for a statistically significant difference of both devices for systolic (110 ± 9 mmHg vs. 111 ± 9 mmHg, p = 0.574), diastolic blood pressure (67 ± 9 mmHg vs. 66 ± 9 mmHg, p = 0.301) as well as MAP (81 ± 8 mmHg vs. 80 ± 8 mmHg, p = 0.400) and HR (83 ± 12 BPM vs. 83 ± 11 BPM, p = 0.994).
Discussion
Both devices, the older Oscillomate 9002 and the current Mindray VS-900 showed good agreement for the measurement of blood pressure in school children. It therefore appears to be feasible to measure childhood blood pressure with either device or replace one device with another in prospective long-term studies or screening programmes as long as both are validated for use in children.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging publishes reports on clinical and experimental research pertinent to human physiology in health and disease. The scope of the Journal is very broad, covering all aspects of the regulatory system in the cardiovascular, renal and pulmonary systems with special emphasis on methodological aspects. The focus for the journal is, however, work that has potential clinical relevance. The Journal also features review articles on recent front-line research within these fields of interest.
Covered by the major abstracting services including Current Contents and Science Citation Index, Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging plays an important role in providing effective and productive communication among clinical physiologists world-wide.
