Key result
Measuring blood pressure over a sleeve shows no difference in readings versus a rolled-up sleeve.
Why the study?
Does measuring blood pressure over a sleeve alter systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurements compared to measuring below a rolled-up sleeve in undergraduate students?

Does measuring blood pressure over a sleeve alter systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurements compared to measuring below a rolled-up sleeve in undergraduate students?
p-value: p==0.572
Measuring blood pressure over a sleeve does not significantly alter the readings compared to a bare arm, which may save time in clinical practice.
Ertuğ et al. (2017) reported an observational. Blood pressure measurement over a sleeve vs. Blood pressure measurement below a rolled-up sleeve was evaluated on Systolic and diastolic blood pressure (p==0.572). Measuring blood pressure over a sleeve had no statistically significant effect on systolic or diastolic blood pressure measurements compared to below a rolled-up sleeve.
