The study was done to validate the use of automated devices (Datascope Duo) as a screening tool for measuring blood pressure. A cross sectional study was conducted in school children from urban slums of Bangalore. Blood pressure was recorded according to standard guidelines using a mercury sphygmomanometer and an automated device (Datascope Duo). The readings obtained using the two instruments were compared. One thousand four hundred eighty nine school children, both males and females, aged 5-16 y were included in the study. Readings with the Datascope Duo varied significantly when compared to the gold standard. The blood pressure measurements using Datascope Duo cannot be recommended as an accurate substitute for manual readings.
本研究旨在验证自动化设备（Datascope Duo）作为血压筛查工具的使用。在班加罗尔市区贫民窟的学童中进行了一项横断面研究。使用汞柱血压计和自动化设备（Datascope Duo）按照标准指南记录血压。比较两种仪器获得的读数。研究纳入了 1489 名男童和女童，年龄为 5-16 岁。与金标准相比，Datascope Duo 的读数差异显著。因此，不建议使用 Datascope Duo 进行血压测量，因其不能准确替代手动读数。
