Popis: To determine whether measured differences between standard mercury sphygmomanometry and the SpaceLabs 90207 ambulatory blood pressure monitor in pregnant women remain constant during 24 h measurements. Repeated comparisons between standard mercury sphygmomanometry and Spacelabs 90207 were performed at nine predetermined time points during 24 h ambulatory blood pressure measurements in a group of ten pregnant women with various pregnancy complications, including hypertension. Individual and group differences between standard mercury sphygmomanometry and SpaceLabs 90207 were calculated for each time point. Friedman's ANOVA was used to test stability of differences across time. Mean group differences (standard deviation) between mercury sphygmomanometry and the SpaceLabs 90207 were -2 (6) mmHg and 3 (7) mmHg for systolic and diastolic pressure respectively. For systolic pressure the differences between time points were not statistically significant. Although a statistical significant trend was found for diastolic pressure differences (P
