May support hypertension screening in Korean preschoolers; leaves open validation in prospective and multi-ethnic cohorts.

Structured PICO

What are the normal blood pressure values and percentile curves measured by an oscillometric device in children under 6 years of age?

P
Population
6,690 children (3,545 boys and 3,145 girls) under six years of age in Seoul, South Korea.
I
Intervention
Blood pressure measurement using an oscillometric device
O
Outcome
Normal blood pressure values and percentile curves (50th, 90th, 95th, and 99th percentiles) based on gender, age, and heightsurrogate

This study establishes normative blood pressure values and percentile curves for Korean children under 6 years of age using an oscillometric method, aiding in the diagnosis and management of pediatric hypertension.

Limitations

  • The study population was not from the whole country, but exclusively from Seoul.
