cppBP {pedbp}

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.
