In dewittpe/pedbp: Pediatric Blood Pressure

Pediatric Blood Pressure

Description

Pediatric Blood Pressure quantile and probability (distribution function) values

Usage

cppBP(
  qp_sbp,
  qp_dbp,
  age,
  male,
  height,
  height_percentile,
  default_height_percentile,
  source,
  type
)

Arguments

qp_sbp	the quantile(s) or probability(s) for systolic blood pressure
qp_dbp	the quantile(s) or probability(s) for diastolic blood pressure
age	numeric vector, in months
male	integer vector; 0 = female, 1 = male
height	numeric vector of stature
height_percentile	numeric vector for height percentiles, expected values between 0 and 1.
default_height_percentile	default height percentile to use if height is missing
source	the method, or data set, to use as the reference.
type	quantile or distribution to return

Details

height is used preferentially over height_percentile over default_height_percentile.

source can be one of "gemelli1990", "lo2013", "nhlbi", "flynn2017", or "martin2022".

Value

A list:

[[1]] systolic blood pressure quantiles or probability (defined by the input value of type). [[2]] diastolic blood pressure quantiles or probability (defined by the input value of type).

attr(, "bp_params") is a data.frame with the values for the look up table(s) needed to inform the sbp and dbp values.
