JAMA Pediatrics Podcast – How did the new AAP guidelines on hypertension change the prevalence and severity of the condition?

As I mentioned in a previous post, I’m now the Web and Social Media Editor at JAMA Pediatrics. We’ve got a podcast where I discuss a paper from the journal. I do my best to pick good ones.

Please consider giving this a listen, and subscribe! Doing so makes it more likely that I’ll be able to keep doing this.

This week, I’m covering “Change in Prevalence and Severity of High Blood Pressure in Children After Publication of the 2017 AAP Guideline on Management of Hypertension”:

This audio summary reviews a study that uses NHANES data to characterize changes in population prevalence of hypertension after publication in 2017 of the American Academy of Pediatrics clinical practice guideline for screening and management of high blood pressure in children and adolescents.
