Figures & data
Figure 1 Distribution of digit preferences for systolic(SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressures for automatic (bright bars) and conventional BP measurements (dark bars). All visits (V1, V2 and V3; Microlife Average Mode n = 2580 and conventional n = 4133). The probability of each digit to represent 10% of all values was rejected (two‐sided binomial test) resulting in significant (p⩽0.05) preferences of some digits for both automatic and conventional BP measurements.
Figure 2 Digit preference with automatic measurements(bright columns) or conventional measurements (dark columns) at visit 3 after 8 weeks of therapy. The probability of each digit to represent 10% of all values was rejected (two‐sided binomial test) resulting in significant (p⩽0.05) preferences for all systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) digits in both automatic and conventional blood pressure measurements, except DBP digits 2, 4 and 8.
