Book excerpt: Excerpt from Update on the Task Force Report (1987) On High Blood Pressure in Children and Adolescents: A Working Group Report From the National High Blood Pressure Education Program This report updates the 1987 report and includes the following new information. New data, such as results from the 1988-91 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, have been included to develop revised normative blood pressure tables, which now include height percentiles, age, and gender. The normative blood pressure tables use the fifth Korotkoff sound for the definition of diastolic blood pressure for all age groups except infants younger than 1 year of age.

Book Screening for Hypertension in Children and Adolescents to Prevent Cardiovascular Disease  Systematic Review for the U  S  Preventive Services Task Force

Download or read book Screening for Hypertension in Children and Adolescents to Prevent Cardiovascular Disease Systematic Review for the U S Preventive Services Task Force written by U. S. Department Human Services and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this systematic evidence review is for the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) to update its recommendation on screening for high blood pressure in children and adolescents to prevent cardiovascular disease. In 2003, the USPSTF found poor evidence that routine blood pressure measurement accurately identifies children and adolescents at increased risk for cardiovascular disease, and poor evidence to determine whether treatment of elevated blood pressure in children or adolescents decreases the incidence of cardiovascular disease. As a result, the USPSTF could not determine the balance of benefits and harms of routine screening for high blood pressure in children and adolescents, which resulted in an I recommendation. Recent data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey suggest that mean blood pressure levels are rising steadily in children, as is the prevalence of childhood hypertension. This may be due to the increase in the prevalence of obesity and overweight among children, which is highly correlated with high blood pressure. Screening of asymptomatic children has the potential to detect hypertension at earlier stages, so that interventions can be initiated which, if effective, could reduce the adverse health effects of childhood hypertension in both childhood and adulthood, including cardiovascular disease and end-organ damage. This report summarizes recent and older evidence on screening and diagnostic accuracy of screening tests for high blood pressure in children, the effectiveness and harms of treatment for screen-detected, primary childhood hypertension, and the tracking of hypertension from childhood to adulthood. Using the methods of the USPSTF and with the input of members of the USPSTF, we developed an analytic framework and key questions to guide our literature search and review. Key Questions include: 1. Is screening for hypertension in children/adolescents effective in delaying the onset of or reducing adverse health outcomes related to hypertension? 2. What is the diagnostic accuracy of screening tests for elevated blood pressure in children/adolescents? 3. What is the association between hypertension in children/adolescents and hypertension and other intermediate outcomes in adults? 4. What are the adverse effects of screening for hypertension in children/adolescents, including labeling and anxiety? 5. What is the effectiveness of drug, nondrug, and combination interventions for treating primary hypertension in children/adolescents? 6. What is the effectiveness of drug, nondrug, and combination interventions initiated for the treatment of primary hypertension in children/adolescents for reducing blood pressure and other intermediate outcomes in adults? 7. What is the effectiveness of drug, nondrug, and combination interventions initiated for the treatment of primary hypertension in children/adolescents for reducing adverse health outcomes in adults related to primary hypertension? 8. What are the adverse effects of drug, nondrug, and combination interventions for treating primary hypertension in children/adolescents?

Book Pediatric Hypertension

  • Author : Ronald J. Portman
  • Publisher : Springer Science & Business Media
  • Release : 2004-06-12
  • ISBN : 1592597971
  • Pages : 555 pages

Download or read book Pediatric Hypertension written by Ronald J. Portman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2004-06-12 with total page 555 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of hypertension in children and adolescents is becoming incre- ingly recognized by physicians and scientists in the 21st century. However, in contrast to the attention that hypertension has received in the adult population for the past three decades since the first Joint National Committee (JNC) report, research and clinical knowledge that involves hypertension in children is still very much in its own childhood. Pediatric Hypertension, edited by Drs. Portman, Sorof, and Ingelfinger, is undoubtedly the most up-to-date and clinically relevant contribution to the field of hypertension in children available because it brings together the numerous pathophysiologic, diagnostic, and therapeutic advances in the evaluation of high blood pressure in infants, children, and adolescents. The editors have carefully organized their volume into sections that cover blood pressure regulation in infants and children, blood pressure measurement issues, pat- physiology and clinical assessment for essential and secondary forms of hypertension during childhood, and nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic approaches to the tre- ment of hypertension in children.
