Key result
Electronic blood pressure monitors have largely superseded traditional methods, but their use in diagnosing hypertension in children is not recommended.
Why the study?
Accurate measurement of children's blood pressure is essential to guide hypertension management, but traditional methods have largely been superseded by electronic monitors despite their use not being recommended for diagnosis in children.

Despite the widespread use of electronic monitors, traditional auscultatory methods remain necessary for diagnosing hypertension in children.
The accurate measurement of children's blood pressure is essential to guide the diagnosis and management of hypertension and other blood pressure-related risks. However, the traditional methods of measurement using a sphygmomanometer and stethoscope have largely been superseded by the use of electronic monitor; however, their use in the diagnosis of hypertension in children is not recommended for children
