Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of extractable electronic health record (EHR) data to define clinician recognition of hypertension in pediatric primary care.

Methods: We used EHR data to perform a cross-sectional study of children aged 3-18 years at well-visits in Connecticut from 2018-2023 (n=50,290) that had either: (1) incident hypertension (hypertensive BP at the well-visit and ≥2 prior hypertensive BPs without prior diagnosis of hypertension); or (2) isolated hypertensive BP at the well-visit without necessarily having prior hypertensive BPs. We tested the accuracy of EHR phenotypes to detect recognition of incident hypertension or hypertensive BP using structured elements, including diagnosis codes, problem list entries, number of BP measurements, orders, and follow-up information.
