Why the study?
24-hour ABPM, HBPM, and OBPM have practical shortcomings and limitations in diagnosing hypertension, prompting evaluation of a new 1-hour blood pressure monitoring method.
Does 1-hour blood pressure monitoring accurately diagnose hypertension compared to 24-hour ABPM, OBPM, and HBPM in patients requiring a diagnostic test for hypertension?
Population
Minimum sample of 214 patients requiring a diagnostic test for hypertension from three urban primary healthcare centres
Comparison
1-hour BP measurement vs 24-hour ABPM, OBPM, and HBPM
Design
Diagnostic accuracy clinical trial protocol with randomized test sequence
Follow-up
Three consecutive weeks

1-hour BP monitoring may offer practical alternative to ABPM; leaves open diagnostic accuracy versus gold standard.
Does 1-hour blood pressure monitoring accurately diagnose hypertension compared to 24-hour ABPM, OBPM, and HBPM in patients requiring a diagnostic test for hypertension?
This protocol outlines a study to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and patient experience of a novel 1-hour blood pressure monitoring method compared to standard 24-hour ABPM, OBPM, and HBPM.
