How often should self-monitoring of blood pressure be repeated? A secondary analysis of data from two randomized controlled trials
In the absence of medication changes, there was very little change in mean self-monitored BP per month, with larger variability within an individual's monthly submitted readings. For people with initially controlled BP and stable medication, repeating self-monitoring at 12 months is likely to be appropriate in guiding management.
