Development and Validation of a Nomogram-Based Model to Predict Primary Hypertension Within the Next Year in Children and Adolescents: Retrospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Primary hypertension (PH) poses significant risks to children and adolescents. Few prediction models for the risk of PH in children and adolescents currently exist, posing a challenge for doctors in making informed clinical decisions.

Objective

This study aimed to investigate the incidence and risk factors of PH in Chinese children and adolescents. It also aimed to establish and validate a nomogram-based model for predicting the next year's PH risk.

Methods

A training cohort (n=3938, between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2020) and a validation cohort (n=1269, between January 1, 2021, and July 1, 2023) were established for model training and validation. An independent cohort of 576 individuals was established for external validation of the model. The res
