摘要: Electronic medical records (EMRs) allow for real-time access to blood pressure (BP) information on a population basis and improve identification treatment of individuals with hypertension. Despite the potential uses data available from EMRs, relatively little research has examined reliability this data. To address gap, authors BP taken at primary care visits recorded in an EMR those study visit which standard protocols were used measure among all adults as well by sex age. Systolic (SBP) averaged 3.7 (17.3) points diastolic (DBP) was 2.8 (10.6) lower than across age groups, differences statistically significant. For cohort patients diagnosis hypertension, there moderate correlation between measurements clinic research. However, control individuals, defined SBP <140 mm Hg DBP 90 Hg, differed almost 25%. Known variability procedures measuring recording may account these differences.
