Key result
The global prevalence of hypertension in children and adolescents has increased by 75% over the last 20 years, approaching 4%, which highlights the critical need for routine blood pressure screening.
Why the study?
Recent data on the prevalence of hypertension in the Czech pediatric population were lacking, as the only published Czech study was nearly twenty years old.
This review emphasizes the need for updated epidemiological data on pediatric hypertension in the Czech Republic and provides guidance on basic diagnostic workup for primary care pediatricians.
Supports routine BP screening in children; leaves open the need for Czech-specific prevalence data and diagnostic validation.
Akoliv je zvyujc se vskyt hypertenze v dtsk populaci ve svt v posledn dob asto probran tma, nemme k dispozici recentn data z esk populace, kter by nm zodpovdla zdnliv jednoduchou otzku "Kolik eskch dt m vysok krevn tlak?".
