背景以前的研究确定了令人担忧的血压计不准确的水平，并且在血压数字测量的时代没有重复。目的是建立目前使用的血压计的类型和准确性。设计和设置在38个牛津郡初级保健实践中进行的横断面观察性研究。方法血压计在50和250 mmHg之间进行评估，结果共鉴定出604台血压计，其中数字血压计323台（53%），无液血压计192台（32%），水银血压计79台（13%），混合血压计10台（2%）。其中，584例（97%）可以进行全面检测。总体而言，503/584（86%）在参考值的3 mmHg范围内，77/584（13%）有一个或多个4-9 mmHg的误差，4/584（
BackgroundPrevious studies identified worrying levels of sphygmomanometer inaccuracy and have not been repeated in the era of digital measurement of blood pressureAimTo establish the type and accuracy of sphygmomanometers in current useDesign and settingCross-sectional, observational study in 38 Oxfordshire primary care practicesMethodSphygmomanometers were evaluated between 50 and 250 mmHg, using Omron PA350 or Scandmed 950831-2 pressure meters.ResultsSix hundred and four sphygmomanometers were identified: 323 digital (53%), 192 aneroid (32%), 79 mercury (13%), and 10 hybrid (2%) devices. Of these, 584 (97%) could be fully tested. Overall, 503/584 (86%) were within 3 mmHg of the reference, 77/584 (13%) had one or more error of 4-9 mmHg, and 4/584 (
