Validation Study
Validation of oscillometric ratio and maximum gradient methods for non-invasive blood pressure measurement with intra-arterial blood pressure measurements as reference.
Journal of Hypertension 2024 June 2
Most non-invasive blood pressure (BP) measurements are carried out using instruments which implement either the Ratio or the Maximum Gradient oscillometric method, mostly during cuff deflation, but more rarely during cuff inflation. Yet, there is little published literature on the relative advantages and accuracy of these two methods. In this study of 40 lightly sedated individuals aged 64.1 ± 9.6 years, we evaluate and compare the performance of the oscillometric ratio (K) and gradient (Grad) methods for the non-invasive estimation of mean pressure, SBP and DBP with reference to invasive intra-arterial values. There was no significant difference between intra-arterial estimates of mean pressure made via Korotkoff sounds (MP-OWE) or the gradient method (MP-Grad). However, 17.7% of MP-OWE and 15% of MP-Grad were in error by more than 10 mmHg. SBP-K and SBP-Grad underestimated SBP by 14 and 18 mmHg, whilst accurately estimating DBP with mean errors of 0.4 ± 5.0 and 1.7 ± 6.1 mmHg, respectively. Relative to the reference standard SBP-K, SBP-Grad and DBP-Grad were estimated with a mean error of -4.5 ± 6.6 and 1.4 ± 5.6 mmHg, respectively, noting that using the full range of recommended ratios introduces errors of 12 and 7 mmHg in SBP and DBP, respectively. We also show that it is possible to find ratios which minimize the root mean square error (RMSE) and the mean error for any particular individual cohort. We developed linear models for estimating SBP and SBP-K from a range of demographic and non-invasive OWE variables with resulting mean errors of 0.15 ± 5.6 and 0.3 ± 5.7 mmHg, acceptable according to the Universal standard.
