Two-Step Pseudomaximum Amplitude-Based Confidence Interval Estimation for Oscillometric Blood Pressure Measurements

Table 2

Comparison of average results (85 subjects with five measurements) in CIs of SBP and DBP using the MAAST, MAAGUM, PMAE, and TSPMAE, where is a standard deviation and L and U are lower and upper limits, respectively. MAA with ST is MAAST. MAA with the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM) is MAAGUM [16].
