Implication

Patient self-measured BP may align with validated out-of-office methods; leaves open prospective confirmation of prognostic utility.

Structured PICO

Do blood pressure measurements taken by patients correlate better with ambulatory and home blood pressure monitoring compared to measurements taken by healthcare professionals?

P
Population
44 patients seen by a home care program
I
Intervention
Blood pressure measurements taken by patients or family members
C
Comparator
Blood pressure measurements taken by physicians and nurses in home and office settings, as well as 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) and standard home blood pressure measurement (HBPM)
O
Outcome
Agreement between different blood pressure measurement modalities and their correlation with echocardiographic parameters (interventricular septum thickness, posterior wall thickness, and left ventricular mass)surrogate

Blood pressure measurements taken by patients themselves are comparable to ambulatory and standard home blood pressure monitoring, suggesting patient-measured BP is a reliable clinical tool.
