Key result
Continuous monitoring of vital signs revealed significant correlations for Sepsis (temperature and pulse) and Intradialytic Hypotension (systolic BP and MAP), with average correlation coefficients of 0.6 and 0.9, respectively.
Why the study?
Chronic disease healthcare systems require continuous monitoring of vital signs to diagnose disease behavior, making identifying relationships between these parameters important.
Observational (n=32)
No
Correlation analysis of vital signs can identify significant relationships, such as between temperature and pulse in sepsis, and systolic BP and MAP in intradialytic hypotension, which may aid in continuous health monitoring.
May aid combined vital sign monitoring in sepsis and IDH; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Healthcare systems for chronic diseases demand continuous monitoring of physiological parameters or vital signs of the patients’ body. Through these vital signs’ information, healthcare experts attempt to diagnose the behavior of a disease. Identifying the relationship between these vital signs is

Murtaza et al. (2020) conducted an observational in Sepsis, Sleep Apnea, and Intradialytic Hypotension (IDH) (n=32). Vital signs monitoring was evaluated on Pearson statistical correlation between vital signs. Continuous monitoring of vital signs revealed significant correlations for Sepsis (temperature and pulse) and Intradialytic Hypotension (systolic BP and MAP), with average correlation coefficients of 0.6 and 0.9, respectively.
