Key result
Predictive regression equations for pulse transit time in healthy children showed significant agreement with previously reported equations (p < 0.05), suggesting utility as a surrogate BP monitor.
Why the study?
Can predictive regression equations for pulse transit time (PTT) be derived and used as a surrogate for continuous blood pressure monitoring in healthy children?

Can predictive regression equations for pulse transit time (PTT) be derived and used as a surrogate for continuous blood pressure monitoring in healthy children?
p-value: p=<0.05
Predictive regression equations for pulse transit time in healthy children show significant agreement with established pulse wave velocity models, suggesting potential utility for continuous non-invasive blood pressure monitoring.
Foo et al. (2005) conducted an observational in Healthy children (n=55). Pulse transit time (PTT) predictive equations vs. Previously reported equations was evaluated on Agreement of derived equations in their PWV equivalent against two previously reported equations (p=<0.05). Predictive regression equations for pulse transit time in healthy children showed significant agreement with previously reported equations (p < 0.05), suggesting utility as a surrogate BP monitor.
