May aid pediatric BP trajectory monitoring; leaves open whether the index improves risk prediction or warrants clinical adoption.

A novel tracking index (TI) can quantitatively assess the degree of systolic blood pressure tracking in children over time.
Nishio et al. (1987) conducted a cohort in Blood pressure tracking (n=1,009). Tracking index (TI) calculation was evaluated on Degree of systolic blood pressure tracking measured by Tracking Index (TI). A novel tracking index quantitatively assessed systolic blood pressure tracking in children, demonstrating apparent tracking across multiple age cohorts with TI values ranging from 2.4 to 4.1.
