Blood pressure values stratify patients into epidemiologic groupings and direct selection of therapy. Studies dating back to 1906 suggest that arm position affects blood pressure measurement; however, little attention is given to this fact (1-5).Objective: To determine whether arm position affects arm blood pressure measurement.Methods: We conducted a prospective study using a convenience sample in an emergency department. The inclusion criteria were age older than 17 years and a chief symptom unlikely to be associated with cardiovascular instability. The exclusion criteria were ...References1. Mariotti G, A…

In the citing paper
“Arm position can have a significant impact on blood pressure measurement; studies over the past century have reported on this fact (2-6).”
From The Impact of Arm Position on the Measurement of Orthostatic Blood Pressure (2008) · cites this paper as [6]
In the citing paper
“A study performed by these authors on 100 ED patients found a mean difference in the measurement of blood pressure of 13.2 mm Hg systolic and 14.4 mm Hg diastolic as a function of change in arm position during measurement from a parallel-to-torso to perpendicular-to-torso arm position (6).”

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.
