Abstract

To compare the conventional sphygmomanometer with the semiautomated Dinamap 8100 (Critikon, Tampa, FL, USA) for the measurement of blood pressure in prepubertal children with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Blood pressure was measured using both methods in 61 prepubertal children (aged 8-13 years) on 189 occasions over 4 years. The measurements were compared using the Bland-Altman plot. Tracking correlations of blood pressure centiles over time were analyzed by the general estimating equation. Accuracy criteria of the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation were met and a British Hypertensive Society 'B' grading was reached. Differences in systolic and diastolic blood pressure were found between the two methods (P < 0.01). For systolic blood pressure, common correlations were 0.54 (Dinamap) and 0.51 (sphygmomanometer) and for diastolic blood pressure were 0.33 and 0.42, respectively. The Dinamap 8100 is an acceptable alternative in clinic practice and research for prepubertal children.
