Key result
An automated blood pressure system (Critikon Model 1165) correlated highly (r > 0.91) with manual measurements for systolic blood pressure during cycle ergometer stress testing in children.

Does an automated blood pressure measurement system provide accurate systolic blood pressure readings compared to manual measurement in children undergoing cycle ergometer stress testing?
Effect estimate: r > 0.91
An automated blood pressure measurement system provides highly correlated readings to manual measurement during pediatric exercise stress testing, potentially eliminating intraobserver variation and freeing clinician attention.
Alpert et al. (1982) conducted an observational in Children undergoing cycle ergometer stress testing (n=121). Automated blood pressure determination system (Critikon Model 1165) vs. Manual blood pressure measurement was evaluated on Correlation coefficients for systolic blood pressure at rest, during exercise, and during recovery (r > 0.91). An automated blood pressure system (Critikon Model 1165) correlated highly (r > 0.91) with manual measurements for systolic blood pressure during cycle ergometer stress testing in children.
