Background: Recent studies have revealed that hypertension remains underdiagnosed in a significant number of children despite their recorded office blood pressure (OBP) exceeding the recommended fourth report OBP thresholds. Simplified OBP thresholds have been proposed to reduce this underdiagnosis of hypertension in children. In clinical practice, OBP screened as elevated according to the fourth report OBP thresholds are referred for ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) monitoring to rule out 'white coat' hypertension. Objectives: The present study tested the usefulness of simplified OBP thresholds to screen abnormal OBP for ABP monitoring referral. Methods: A total of 155 subjects were retrospectively analyzed with …
