Why the study?
The study aimed to compare blood pressure values between random-zero sphygmomanometers and automated oscillometric devices and generate conversion equations between devices.
Does the method of blood pressure measurement (automated oscillometric vs random-zero sphygmomanometer) affect the recorded blood pressure values in adults aged 40-79?
Does the method of blood pressure measurement (automated oscillometric vs random-zero sphygmomanometer) affect the recorded blood pressure values in adults aged 40-79?
Equations were developed to convert blood pressure values between random-zero sphygmomanometers and automated oscillometric devices, facilitating comparisons across epidemiologic and clinical studies.
