Pappaccogli M, et al. - In this meta-analysis of 26 studies, with 7,116 patients, researchers compared automated office blood pressure (AOBP) with other BP measurement techniques and focused on the differences between AOBP and physician’s office BP, nonphysician’s office BP, daytime ambulatory BP monitoring, and home BP monitoring. The studies published up to April 2018 found in the PubMed database comparing AOBP with office and out-of-office measurement techniques and reporting the BP differences or BP values obtained were included. They found that the reported AOBP values were lower than physician and nonphysician office ones. AOBP and daytime ambulatory BP monitoring and home BP monitoring had no significantly different values. Compared to out-of-office blood pressure, no significant differences were evident in AOBP readings, which still remains an office technique as it overcomes some of office BP limitations, including the white coat effect, possible improving hypertension diagnosis.
