THE BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT REPRODUCIBILITY AND DISCORDANCE PROJECT

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 本研究将是一项小规模研究，评价白大衣高血压（WCH）和隐性高血压（MH）的患病率和重现性，以及家庭血压监测检测WCH和MH的灵敏度和特异性（与动态血压监测的金标准相比）。这项研究也将是一项试点研究，使我们能够确定我们的招募策略，入组率和研究完成率的有效性，以及生成有关WCH和MH潜在相关因素的假设。

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.
