About this study
Official title: Standard vs. Routine Blood Pressure Measurement in Pregnancy: Effects of Position and Diurnal Variation
The aim of the study is to examine the variation in blood pressure between an optimal measurement (according to established guidelines in the literature - per guidelines) and a 'common' measurement (used by nursing teams - per common practice) among women of reproductive age with and without hyperte
Read the detailed description
Accurate blood pressure measurement is a cornerstone of the diagnosis and management of hypertension. The latest Clinical Practice Guidelines (AHA2020- International Society of Hypertension Global) emphasize several important steps for accurate blood pressure measurement, including choosing the correct cuff size, resting for five minutes, sitting with support for the back, feet flat on the floor, and legs uncrossed, and proper arm positioning (i.e., positioning the midpoint of the cuff at heart level with the arm supported on a table or work surface). Sitting measurements are preferred because of the large amount of data linking blood pressure measurements in this position to health outcomes.

blood pressure measurementProcedure or surgery
examine the variation in blood pressure between an optimal measurement (according to established guidelines in the literature - per guidelines) and a 'common' measurement (used by nursing teams - per common practice) among women of reproductive age with and without hypertention
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| variation in blood pressure between an optimal measurement and a 'common' measurement | Experimental | Not described Receives: Procedure: blood pressure measurement |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Mean difference in systolic blood pressure (mmHg) between guideline-based and routine clinical measurement
Mean difference in systolic blood pressure (mmHg) between guideline-based and routine clinical measurement
Description:
Systolic blood pressure (SBP) will be measured in each participant using two methods:
- guideline-based blood pressure measurement performed according to international hypertension guidelines (seated position, appropriate cuff size, arm supported at heart level after ≥5 minutes of rest), and
- routine clinical blood pressure measurement as performed by nursing staff under usual clinical conditions.
The primary outcome will be the within-participant mean difference in SBP (mmHg) between the two measurement methods.
Measured: 1 year
Secondary outcomes (2)
Mean difference in diastolic blood pressure (mmHg) between guideline-based and routine clinical measurement
As above, for diastolic blood pressure (DBP).
Measured: 1 year
Mean difference in mean arterial pressure (mmHg) between guideline-based and routine clinical measurement
Mean arterial pressure (MAP) will be calculated as MAP = (SBP + 2×DBP) / 3 for each measurement method. The outcome will be the within-participant difference between methods
Measured: 1 yaer
