Rationale & Objective: Accurate detection of hypertension is crucial for clinical management of pediatric chronic kidney disease (CKD). The 2017 American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) clinical practice guideline for childhood hypertension included new normative blood pressure (BP) values and revised definitions of BP categories. In this study, we examined the effect of applying the AAP guideline's normative data and definitions to the Chronic Kidney Disease in Children (CKiD) cohort compared with use of normative data and definitions from the 2004 Fourth Report on the Diagnosis, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure in Children and Adolescents.

Objectives: To compose and validate an electronic medical records-based case definition for pediatric diabetes in primary care.
Methods: Data from the electronic medical records of 221 primary care providers participating in the Manitoba Primary Care Research Network were extracted from April 1, 1998, to March 31, 2015. We assessed agreement among the 3 case definitions of pediatric diabetes and compared the performance of each with the clinical database of the Manitoba Diabetes Education Resource for Children and Adolescents.
