Key result
A single automated office blood pressure assessment yielded superior positive predictive values (80.0%-86.9%) and overall accuracy (up to 74%) compared to three manual assessments (≤69%).

Does a single automated office BP assessment improve the prediction of ambulatory BP monitoring results compared to three manual office BP assessments in patients?
A single automated office BP measurement provides superior predictive value and accuracy for ambulatory BP compared to three manual measurements, supporting the use of 135/85 mmHg as a cut-point for high BP.
Godwin et al. (2010) conducted a cross-sectional in Hypertension (n=654). Single automated office blood pressure (AOBP) assessment vs. Three manual office blood pressure assessments was evaluated on Positive predictive value and overall accuracy for predicting ambulatory blood pressure. A single automated office blood pressure assessment yielded superior positive predictive values (80.0%-86.9%) and overall accuracy (up to 74%) compared to three manual assessments (≤69%).
