About this trial
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

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
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: 1. 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 2. 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.
Secondary outcomes
Mean difference in diastolic blood pressure (mmHg) between guideline-based and routine clinical measurement
As above, for diastolic blood pressure (DBP).
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
