Pediatric hypertension and prehypertension are significantly underdiagnosed. Part of this underdiagnosis may be related to the complexity of the current pediatric blood pressure tables and their requirement for knowledge of the patient's height percentile.
This study presents a simplified pediatric blood pressure table, based on the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute pediatric blood pressure tables, that should simplify the screening for potentially abnormal blood pressures in children and adolescents.
