Why the study?
Does home blood pressure measurement improve reproducibility compared to clinic and ambulatory blood pressure measurement?
Does home blood pressure measurement improve reproducibility compared to clinic and ambulatory blood pressure measurement?
Home blood pressure monitoring offers superior reproducibility over clinic and ambulatory measurements, potentially reducing sample size requirements for antihypertensive drug trials.
Supports home BP consideration for monitoring; leaves open effects on trial sample sizes.
The study shows that HBP seems to have superior reproducibility compared with both CBP and ABP. In addition, HBP can improve the accuracy of antihypertensive drug trials, thereby reducing the sample size required.
