4.16.5 Setting BP limits
You can specify global thresholds for systolic and diastolic blood pressure. If these values are exceeded, the
measurements are marked accordingly in the analyses.
These values are automatically stored as limits for new patients.
The blood pressure limits in children and adolescents aged 0 to 17 years are calculated using the reference
tables in the KiGGS study, which give a comprehensive description of the health situation of children and ado-
lescents living in Germany. This has shown that the blood pressure limits of children and adolescents depend
on age, sex and size.
The European Society for Hypertension (ESH) published comprehensive tables in 2010 (Management of high
blood pressure in children and adolescents: recommendations of the European Society of Hypertension, Lurbe
et al.; Journal of hypertension accepted Jun 9 2009), which constitute the basis of the thresholds set for the
HMS-CS. The thresholds are determined on the basis of 95% percentile curve.
The limit value can then be defined as one which is either equal or lower for 95% of a whole study cohort (sta-
tistic report on 15,000 children).
Any values above this limit are defined as hypertension.
Working with the percentile curve:
To display the percentile curve (P95) (only for children and adolescents from 3 to 17 years of age) the patient’s
date of birth must be entered; these data will then be the basis for the calculation of the patient’s age performed
by the HMS-CS software. IMPORTANT: The analysis will ALWAYS refer to the CURRENT age of the patient. To
display a patient history, one print per appointment needs to be made.
Note:
You can set BP limits for each patient individually on the Patient information tab (see 4.6,
Editing patient
information
