“…Costa Brava, 30. Barcelona, Spain) whose results were used to calculate Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) based on the modified Schwartz equation 43 . Participants with eGFR below 60 mls/min/1.73m 2 had their blood collected again after 6 months for a repeat test to confirm the low eGFR.…”

Prevalence estimates for high blood pressure (BP) among adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa vary widely and most studies have relied on attended automated office BP (AOBP) measurements. We aimed to estimate prevalence of high BP using unattended AOBP followed by 24-Hour ambulatory BP monitoring (24-Hour ABPM) for confirmation and to determine factors associated with confirmed high BP. Between April and August 2018, 500 adolescents aged 11 to 15 years were enrolled from three randomly selected public schools in Mwanza city (Tanzania) to participate in a 2-year prospective cohort study. We obtained three consecutive unattended AOBP measurements. Follow-up AOBP measurements were obtained in participants with high BP at initial measurements. Participants whose follow-up measurements remained high underwent 24-Hour ABPM. Of all 500 participants, 36.6% had high BP using first AOBP measurement; 25.6% using average of the second and third AOBP measurements and 10.2% using average of follow-up AOBP measurements and were eligible for 24-Hour ABPM. Only 13(2.6%) had confirmed high BP and they had no unique distinguishing characteristic. White coat hypertension is common among adolescents in Africa. Cardiovascular health promotion in Africa can be done through school-based screening for high BP among adolescents using one unattended AOBP

Estimates for prevalence of high blood pressure (BP) among adolescents in Africa vary widely and few studies, if any, have documented the results of the recommended stepwise BP screening. In this cross-sectional study in Tanzania, we aimed to estimate prevalence of sustained high BP in 3 public secondary schools using the American Academy of Pediatrics BP screening strategy. On Day 1, one screening automated office BP (AOBP) measurement (Step 1) was followed by two more AOBP measurements (Step 2). Repeat AOBP measurements were obtained after about one month on adolescents with high AOBP measurements on Day 1 (Step 3). Participants with sustained high BP underwent 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring (step 4). Of all 500 enrolled participants, the prevalence of high blood pressure at each step in the process was 36.6% (183), 25.6% (128), 10.2% (51), and 2.6%(13) respectively for Steps 1–4. All except 6 students completed all 4 steps of the BP screening algorithm as indicated. We conclude that diagnosis of hypertension in African adolescents should use multiple AOBP measurements over multiple days followed by 24-h ABPM. Screening for high BP in school settings appears to be feasible and could provide a platform for cardiovascular disease education and health promotion.
