| pubmed-article:2634859 | pubmed:abstractText | Systolic blood pressure (SBP) was measured by Doppler method in an aleatory sample of 251 healthy children from south-east Santiago Chile (131 females and 120 males) which were divided by age in five groups: 0 to 28 days (n = 5) 1 to 5 months (n = 48), 6 to 11 months (n = 48), 12 to 17 months (n = 46) and 18 to 24 months (n = 45). Great dispersion of SBP values occurred among newborn infants (range 85 to 125) in comparison with groups 1 to 5 months (105 to 130), 6 to 11 months (118 to 130). Fifty and 95 percentiles were, respectively, 107 to 125; 116 to 130; 121 to 130; 118 to 130 and 120 to 130. These values were greater than those obtained by sphygmomanometry in a similar matched group of children. | lld:pubmed |
