Why the study?
Do 24-h ambulatory recordings with ≥8/≥4 awake/asleep readings yield similar ABP levels compared to guideline-recommended ≥20/≥7 readings in research settings?
Do 24-h ambulatory recordings with ≥8/≥4 awake/asleep readings yield similar ABP levels compared to guideline-recommended ≥20/≥7 readings in research settings?
In research settings, using ≥8/≥4 awake/asleep readings for 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring yields similar results to guideline-recommended criteria, allowing for data preservation.

May support relaxed ABPM criteria to retain data in research; leaves open validation before clinical or guideline adoption.
24-h ambulatory recordings with ≥8/≥4 awake/asleep readings yielded ABP levels similar to recordings including the guideline-recommended ≥20/≥7 readings. These criteria save valuable data in a research setting, but are not applicable to clinical practice.
