Comparison of Home and Office Blood Pressure Devices in the Clinical Setting.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Self-measured blood pressure (SMBP) monitoring is increasingly used for remote hypertension management, but the real-world performance of home blood pressure (BP) devices is unknown. We examined BP measurements from patients' home devices using the American Medical Association's (AMA) SMBP Device Accuracy Test tool.

Methods

Patients at a single internal medicine clinic underwent up to five seated, same-arm BP readings using a home device and an automated BP device (Omron HEM-907XL). Following the AMA's three-step protocol, we used the patient's home device for the first, second, and fourth measurements and the office device for the third and fifth (if needed) measurements. Device agreement failure was defined as an absolute difference in systolic BP >10 mm Hg betw
