Repeated BP measurements needed for reliable assessment in diabetic children; leaves open optimal intervals for long-term risk prediction.
What is the degree of tracking of repeated blood pressure measurements in diabetic children?
Blood pressure tracking correlations in diabetic children are relatively small, indicating that repeated measurements are necessary for accurate assessment.
IBSEN et al. (1983) studied this question.
