Calibration of blood pressure measurements in the Jackson Heart Study.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:In longitudinal research studies with follow-up examinations, the devices used to measure phenotypes may change over time. When a device change occurs, the two devices should be calibrated to each other to ensure that measurements are comparable. This paper details the Jackson Heart Study (JHS) blood pressure (BP) comparability study. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS:During its second clinic exam (2005-2008), the JHS switched from a random-zero sphygmomanometer (RZS) BP measurement device to an oscillometric device (OD). During this exam, BP measurements from both an RZS and an OD were taken simultaneously in 2117 participants for the purpose of calibration. Five methods for calibrating systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) were considered: ignoring the change, ordinary least squares regression, adding the average difference, Deming regression, and robust regression. RESULTS:Using the RZS and OD, the mean (SD) SBP was 125.5 (19.2) and 126.5 (19.9), respectively, and the mean (SD) DBP was 76.4 (10.6) and 74.0 (11.0), respectively. The correlation between RZS and the OD was 0.90 for SBP and 0.80 for DBP. The prevalence of high BP and hypertension and associations with albuminuria were similar when applying each of the five calibration methods. Robust regression was chosen for calibration, giving the following equations:(Equation is included in full-text article.)These equations had a higher R statistic than using calibration equations from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults Study and the Heinz Nixdorf Recall Study. CONCLUSIONS:The JHS BP data have been calibrated using the above equations for use in future analyses.

Project description:BackgroundAmbulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring is the reference standard for out-of-clinic BP measurement. Thresholds for identifying ambulatory hypertension (daytime systolic BP [SBP]/diastolic BP [DBP] ≥135/85 mm Hg, 24-hour SBP/DBP ≥130/80 mm Hg, and nighttime SBP/DBP ≥120/70 mm Hg) have been derived from European, Asian, and South American populations. We determined BP thresholds for ambulatory hypertension in a US population-based sample of African American adults.MethodsWe analyzed data from the Jackson Heart Study, a population-based cohort study comprised exclusively of African American adults (n=5306). Analyses were restricted to 1016 participants who completed ambulatory BP monitoring at baseline in 2000 to 2004. Mean SBP and DBP levels were calculated for daytime (10:00 am-8:00 pm), 24-hour (all available readings), and nighttime (midnight-6:00 am) periods, separately. Daytime, 24-hour, and nighttime BP thresholds for ambulatory hypertension were identified using regression- and outcome-derived approaches. The composite of a cardiovascular disease or an all-cause mortality event was used in the outcome-derived approach. For this latter approach, BP thresholds were identified only for SBP because clinic DBP was not associated with the outcome. Analyses were stratified by antihypertensive medication use.ResultsAmong participants not taking antihypertensive medication, the regression-derived thresholds for daytime, 24-hour, and nighttime SBP/DBP corresponding to clinic SBP/DBP of 140/90 mm Hg were 134/85 mm Hg, 130/81 mm Hg, and 123/73 mm Hg, respectively. The outcome-derived thresholds for daytime, 24-hour, and nighttime SBP corresponding to a clinic SBP ≥140 mm Hg were 138 mm Hg, 134 mm Hg, and 129 mm Hg, respectively. Among participants taking antihypertensive medication, the regression-derived thresholds for daytime, 24-hour, and nighttime SBP/DBP corresponding to clinic SBP/DBP of 140/90 mm Hg were 135/85 mm Hg, 133/82 mm Hg, and 128/76 mm Hg, respectively. The corresponding outcome-derived thresholds for daytime, 24-hour, and nighttime SBP were 140 mm Hg, 137 mm Hg, and 133 mm Hg, respectively, among those taking antihypertensive medication.ConclusionsOn the basis of the outcome-derived approach for SBP and regression-derived approach for DBP, the following definitions for daytime, 24-hour, and nighttime hypertension corresponding to clinic SBP/DBP ≥140/90 mm Hg are proposed for African American adults: daytime SBP/DBP ≥140/85 mm Hg, 24-hour SBP/DBP ≥135/80 mm Hg, and nighttime SBP/DBP ≥130/75 mm Hg, respectively.
