Clinic and home blood pressure monitoring for the detection of ambulatory hypertension among patients on peritoneal dialysis
Hypertension Sep 29, 2019
Vaios V, Georgianos PI, Vareta G, et al. - Given that adequate blood pressure (BP) evaluation, including at least measurements performed once-weekly at home and at each visit at clinic, in patients on peritoneal dialysis has been advised by the International Society of Peritoneal Dialysis but the quality of proof to support this guidance is suboptimal, therefore, researchers analyzed a cohort of 81 stable patients receiving peritoneal dialysis in order to assess the diagnostic performance of clinic and home BP recordings, taking ambulatory daytime BP as a reference standard. They used 3 different methodologies to measure BP. In this study, ambulatory BP monitoring among participants corroborated that 1-week averaged home systolic BP (SBP) is of at least similar accuracy with standardized clinic SBP in diagnosing hypertension.
