Does an oscillometric device provide comparable carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity measurements to tonometry in a pediatric population?
Height-related Z-scores are preferred over age-related Z-scores for comparing pulse wave velocity measurements across different devices and populations in children.
A strong linear association between height-related oscillometric and tonometric Z-scores was observed. Age-related Z-scores are of limited value when comparing results across different populations and methods.
