Pediatric Blood Pressure Threshold Calculator
AAP 2017 Clinical Practice Guideline — thresholds by age, sex, and height
Child Profile
About this calculator: Thresholds for children under 13 are derived from the AAP 2017 Clinical Practice Guideline simplified screening table, adjusted for height percentile using CDC 2000 growth chart reference data. Height percentile adjustment reflects the variation in BP norms across height percentiles within each age/sex group. For ages 13 and above, adult thresholds apply per AAP 2017. This tool is intended for educational and clinical reference use. Always confirm with the full AAP 2017 tables for clinical decisions.
