School-based surveillance on visit-to-visit blood pressure variability and high blood pressure in children and adolescents
BMC Cardiovascular Disorders Mar 23, 2021
Wang J, Shen H, Liu J, et al. - Using data from Suzhou Health Promotion Program for Children and Adolescents (HPPCA), researchers explored the connections between visit-to-visit blood pressure variability (VVV) and the risk of high blood pressure (HBP) and ascertained if any VVV indices was capable of improving risk discrimination for HBP in a large-scale Chinese pediatric population. In total, 330,618 candidates had BP measurement in 2018 and ≥ 3 BP records during 2012–2017, were selected from HPPCA. Higher standard deviation (SD) or average real variability of BP, was independently associated with a higher probability of HBP in the Chinese pediatric population. SBP-SD has the ability to aid in the detection of HBP. Future research into the predictive value of VVV is essential.
