pedbp: Pediatric Blood Pressure
Data and utilities for estimating pediatric blood pressure percentiles by sex, age, and optionally height (stature) as described in Martin et al. (2022) <doi:10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2022.36918>. Blood pressure percentiles for children under one year of age come from Gemelli et al. (1990) <doi:10.1007/BF02171556>. Estimates of blood pressure percentiles for children at least one year of age are informed by data from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) <doi:10.1542/peds.2009-2107C> or from Lo et al. (2013) <doi:10.1542/peds.2012-1292>. The source-selection flowchart comes from Martin et al. (2022) <doi:10.1542/hpeds.2021-005998>.
