Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main study parameter/endpoint: The principal parameter is the difference in the average systolic BP, defined as the mean BP during self-measurement using continuous beat-to-beat BP registration, between semi-automated and fully-automated BP measurement compared to baseline values. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary study parameters/endpoints: o Differences in average diastolic BP, defined as the mean BP during self-measurement using continuous beat-to-beat BP registration, between semi-automated and fully-automated BP measurement compared to baseline values; o Differences in the maximal rise in BP (systolic and diastolic), defined as the maximum BP during the first 20 seconds of each self-measurement using continuous beat-to-beat BP registration; o Differences in heart rate (HR), defined as the inverse of the interbeat interval, during each self-measurement using continuous beat-to-beat BP registration; o Differences in cardiac output (CO), defined as the stroke volume (SV) divided by the interbeat interval, during each self-measurement using continuous beat-to-beat BP registration; o Differences in systemic vascular resistance (SVR) during each self-measurement using continuous beat-to-beat BP registration calculated as the ratio of MAP and CO. | — |
