Although the definition of white-coat hypertension (WCH) in children and adolescents is clearly defined, little is known about how this condition is actually approached clinically. To better understand the contemporary approach to the diagnosis and management of WCH in pediatric patients, the authors surveyed the membership of the Midwest Pediatric Nephrology Consortium. Seventy-four faculty pediatric nephrologists responded to the survey. The survey results demonstrated uniformity in diagnosing WCH, including ambulatory blood pressure monitoring use in 93% of the respondents and a 75% adherence rate according to the 2014 American Heart Association scientific statement on pediatric ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. A total of 85% of respondents would not embark on further diagnostic evaluation once the WCH diagnosis was established, and none would initiate antihypertensive medications. There was a wide variety of practice habits in follow-up of WCH including frequency of office and out-of-office follow-up blood pressure measurements, the setting and timing of physician follow-up, and the role of repeat ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. The results of this survey highlight the need for prospective studies aimed at establishing the optimal approach to pediatric patients with WCH.
虽然儿童和青少年白大衣高血压(WCH)的定义已明确界定,但对于如何在临床上实际处理这种情况却知之甚少。为了更好地了解当代儿科患者WCH的诊断和管理方法,作者对中西部儿科肾脏病学联合会的成员进行了调查。74名儿科肾病科医生对调查做出了回应。调查结果显示在诊断WCH方面具有一致性,包括93%的受访者使用动态血压监测,并且根据2014年美国心脏协会关于儿科动态血压监测的科学声明,依从率为75%。一旦确立WCH诊断,共有85%的受访者不会进行进一步的诊断评估,并且无人会开始使用抗高血压药物。在WCH的随访方面存在各种各样的实践习惯,包括诊室和诊室外随访血压测量的频率、医生随访的地点和时间,以及重复动态血压监测的作用。这项调查结果凸显了开展前瞻性研究以确立儿科WCH患者最佳处理方法的必要性。
