Implication

May compromise BP accuracy in routine care; leaves open whether targeted training improves adherence.

Structured PICO

Population

1334 adult patients hospitalized for an ordinary admission (except emergency room) lasting more than one night, without mental disorder, who had their blood pressure routinely measured by hospital personnel less than 3 hours before.

Outcome

Compliance to current recommendations on blood pressure measurement by health professionals (assessed via 15-item questionnaire)

Compliance to several key recommendations for accurate blood pressure measurement in hospitals is unacceptably low, highlighting the need for targeted educational programs.
