Abstract：Objective To evaluate the value of adopting electronic sphygmomanometers for measuring blood pressure ( BP ) of pilot cadets candidates. Methods A total of 900 young students were recruited by using random sampling method from the students taking part in the 2015 annual navy medical selection of pilot cadets. The consistency of BP values measured by electronic sphyg-momanometers, and mercury sphygmomanometers were respectively compared in calm state and mo-tion state. Results The consistency of the measurement results recorded by two kinds of sphygmo-manometers was compared by using interclass correlation coefficient ( ICC) and Bland-Altman plots. The ICC between systolic BP values and the ICC between diastolic BP had consistency. The research found out the systolic BP difference [(0. 57+3. 21) mmHg] and diastolic BP difference [(0. 71+3. 62) mmHg] in calm state, systolic BP difference (0. 61+3. 59) mmHg and diastolic BP difference (0. 81+3. 65) mmHg in motion state were all within the scope of the range (x-±1. 96s) by Bland-Altman plots for scatter distribution. Conclusion There was good consistency between the BP va-lues measured by two kinds of sphygmomanometers, so upper-arm electronic BP monitor can substi-tute for mercury sphygmomanometers in medical selection of pilot cadets.
