Report of the Second Task Force on Blood Pressure Control in Children—1987
Abstract
Although the prevalence of clinical hypertension is of a far lesser magnitude in children than adults, there is ample evidence to support the concept that the roots of essential hypertension extend back into childhood. Prospective cohort data that could yield precise information about the relationship between childhood BP and cardiovascular risk are not yet available. Nonetheless, high BP in children represents a significant clinical problem which in 1977 was comprehensively addressed by the Task Force on Blood Pressure Control in Children. Contained herein, 10 years later, is the revised version of the original Task Force report including normative BP data derived from sampling more than 70,000 children, as well as advice on methodology and instrumentation for BP measurement, guidelines for detecting children with high BP, and strategies for appropriate diagnostic evaluation and pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatment.

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.
