Key result
The Dinamap 8100 met accuracy criteria and is an acceptable alternative to the sphygmomanometer in prepubertal children, despite differences in systolic and diastolic blood pressure (P < 0.01).

Does the Dinamap 8100 provide accurate blood pressure measurements compared to a conventional sphygmomanometer in prepubertal children with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus?
p-value: p=< 0.01
The Dinamap 8100 is an acceptable alternative to conventional sphygmomanometers for blood pressure measurement in prepubertal children.
Jin et al. (2001) conducted an observational in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (n=61). Dinamap 8100 vs. conventional sphygmomanometer was evaluated on Differences in systolic and diastolic blood pressure (p=< 0.01). The Dinamap 8100 met accuracy criteria and is an acceptable alternative to the sphygmomanometer in prepubertal children, despite differences in systolic and diastolic blood pressure (P < 0.01).
