Validation of the Omron 705 IT oscillometric device for home blood pressure measurement in children and adolescents: The Arsakion School Study
Key result
The Omron 705 IT oscillometric device accurately measured blood pressure in normotensive children and adolescents, with mean systolic and diastolic differences of 4.0±4.8 mmHg and -2.1±5.9 mmHg.
Why the study?
Does the Omron 705 IT oscillometric device accurately measure blood pressure compared to mercury sphygmomanometers in normotensive children and adolescents?
Population
197 normotensive children and adolescents (99 boys, mean age 10.6 ± 2.4 years, range 6-16 years)
Comparison
Blood pressure measurement using the Omron 705… vs Simultaneous blood pressure measurements by two…

Population
197 normotensive children and adolescents (99 boys, mean age 10.6 ± 2.4 years, range 6-16 years)
I
Intervention
Blood pressure measurement using the Omron 705 IT oscillometric device
C
Comparator
Simultaneous blood pressure measurements by two observers using connected mercury sphygmomanometers
O
Outcome
Absolute device-observer blood pressure differences classified into zones (within 5, 10 and 15 mmHg) and mean difference ± SDsurrogate
Main Result
Effect estimate: Mean SBP diff 4.0±4.8 mmHg, DBP diff -2.1±5.9 mmHg
The Omron 705 IT oscillometric device is accurate for measuring blood pressure in normotensive children and adolescents.

Stergiou et al. (2006) conducted a cross-sectional in Normotensive children and adolescents (n=197). Omron 705 IT oscillometric device vs. Mercury sphygmomanometers was evaluated on Absolute device-observer blood pressure differences (Mean SBP diff 4.0±4.8 mmHg, DBP diff -2.1±5.9 mmHg). The Omron 705 IT oscillometric device accurately measured blood pressure in normotensive children and adolescents, with mean systolic and diastolic differences of 4.0±4.8 mmHg and -2.1±5.9 mmHg.
