TL;DR

The digital device showed a high level of agreement with the mercury manometer when measuring systolic blood pressure, and the use of correction equations may be an alternative for studies using this wrist digital monitor in adolescent patients.

Abstract

The digital device showed a high level of agreement with the mercury manometer when measuring systolic blood pressure. The level of agreement was lower for diastolic blood pressure. The use of correction equations may be an alternative for studies using this wrist digital monitor in adolescent patients.
