Key result
Screening for orthostatic hypotension using home blood pressure measurements detected a significantly higher prevalence compared to clinic setting measurements (37.47% vs 15%).

Home monitoring may enhance orthostatic hypotension detection; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.

Absolute Event Rate: 37.47% vs 15%
Adding standing measurements to home blood pressure monitoring is feasible and significantly increases the detection of orthostatic hypotension compared to standard clinic measurements.
Crémer et al. (2018) conducted a cross-sectional in Orthostatic hypotension (n=505). Home blood pressure measurements (HBPM) with standing position vs. Clinic setting measurement was evaluated on Orthostatic hypotension prevalence (presence of one episode). Screening for orthostatic hypotension using home blood pressure measurements detected a significantly higher prevalence compared to clinic setting measurements (37.47% vs 15%).
