May improve provider recognition of pediatric hypertension; leaves open effects on outcomes and need for randomized confirmation.
Mitchell et al. (2010) conducted an observational in Paediatric hypertension (n=493). Simplified BP table vs. Standard practice (2003 historical cohort) was evaluated on Recognition of hypertensive BP values (p=<0.001). Implementation of a simplified BP table significantly improved provider recognition of hypertensive blood pressure values in children from 15% to 77% (P<0.001).
