Key result
Long-term reproducibility of 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring was superior to office measurements (systolic standard deviation of difference 6.2-7.3 vs 12.4-13.7).
Why the study?
Does 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring provide better long-term reproducibility compared to office blood pressure measurements in stable pediatric renal transplant recipients?
Observational (n=18)
Does 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring provide better long-term reproducibility compared to office blood pressure measurements in stable pediatric renal transplant recipients?
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring demonstrates superior long-term reproducibility compared to office measurements in pediatric renal transplant recipients, though day-to-night variability is inconsistent over time.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May favor ABPM for reproducible monitoring in pediatric renal transplant recipients; leaves open outcome impact in prospective studies.
Krmar et al. (2005) conducted an observational in pediatric kidney transplant recipients (n=18). 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) vs. Office blood pressure measurements was evaluated on Long-term reproducibility of average office and ambulatory blood pressure readings and day-to-night BP variability. Long-term reproducibility of 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring was superior to office measurements (systolic standard deviation of difference 6.2-7.3 vs 12.4-13.7).
