Identification of a close relation between readings taken with automated office blood pressure measurement and 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring suggests that future clinical outcome studies will confirm automated office blood pressure readings as being a better predictor of future cardiovascular events than are manual office blood pressure readings.
White cell counts are also a valid predictor (24), although we decided to use neutrophil counts instead, as this is a better predictor of infection and/or sepsis (25).
