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

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Women aged 18-40

Informed consent to participate.

Disqualifiers

Inability to cooperate with BP measurement under optimal conditions

Women with complex underlying disease that may bias the data (e.g. significant vasculopathy)

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • blood pressure measurement

    Procedure/Surgery

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

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.

Time frame
1 year

Secondary outcomes

1

Mean difference in diastolic blood pressure (mmHg) between guideline-based and routine clinical measurement

As above, for diastolic blood pressure (DBP).

Time frame
1 year
2

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

Time frame
