| Abstract |
Elevated blood pressures (BP) are common among hospitalized children and, if not recognized and treated promptly, can lead to potentially significant consequences. Even though we have normative BP data and well-developed guidelines for the diagnosis and management of hypertension (HTN) in the ambulatory setting, our understanding of elevated BPs and their relationship to HTN in hospitalized children is limited. Several issues have hampered our ability to diagnose and manage HTN in the inpatient setting including the common presence of physiologic conditions, which are associated with transient BP elevations (i.e., pain or anxiety), non-standard approaches to BP measurement, a lack of clarity regarding appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic thresholds, and marginal outcome data. The purpose of this review is to highlight the issues and challenges surrounding BP monitoring, assessment of elevated BPs, and the diagnosis of HTN in hospitalized children. Extrapolating from currently available clinical practice guidelines and utilizing the best data available, we aim to provide guidelines regarding evaluation and treatment of elevated BP in hospitalized children. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 19 August 2020.
All research outputs
#4,194,987
of 23,577,761 outputs
Outputs from Pediatric Nephrology
#638
of 3,671 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#80,507
of 336,409 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Pediatric Nephrology
#18
of 88 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,577,761 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 82nd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,671 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 5.0. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 336,409 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 88 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its contemporaries.
