Age-Based Percentiles of Measured Mean Arterial Pressure in Pediatric Patients in a Hospital Setting

Conclusions: This is the first study reporting age-specific quantiles of measured mean arterial pressure in children in a hospital setting. The percentile curves may guide care in illnesses when perfusion pressure is critical and serve as parameter for bedside and electronic record-based response to clinical change. Future work to correlate threshold mean arterial pressure values with outcomes would be feasible based on quantile curves.
