THE BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT REPRODUCIBILITY AND DISCORDANCE PROJECT

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 这项研究将是一项小规模研究，评估白大衣高血压(WCH)和隐性高血压(MH)的患病率和重复性，以及家庭血压监测(与动态血压监测的黄金标准相比)检测WCH和MH的敏感性和特异性。这项研究还将是一项先导性研究，使我们能够确定我们的招聘战略、入学人数和学业完成率的有效性，并就可能与WCH和MH相关的因素提出假设。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. This study will be a small-scale study evaluating the prevalence and reproducibility of white-coat hypertension (WCH) and masked hypertension (MH) in addition to the sensitivity and specificity of home blood pressure monitoring (compared to the gold-standard of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring) for detecting WCH and MH. This study will also be a pilot study allowing us to determine the effectiveness of our recruiting strategy, enrollment and study completion rates, as well as generate hypotheses regarding factors potentially associated with WCH and MH.
