Neonatal Blood Pressure Standards
Abstract
Blood pressure (BP) is routinely measured in newborn infants. Published BP nomograms demonstrate a rise in BP following delivery in healthy infants at all gestational ages (GA) and evidence that BP values are higher with increasing birth weight and GA. However, the complex physiology that occurs in newborn infants and range of BP values observed at all GA make it difficult to identify "normal" BP for a specific infant at a specific time under specific conditions. As such, complete hemodynamic assessment should include the physical examination, perinatal history, other vital signs, and laboratory values in addition to BP values.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
