  abstract = {{P}ediatric blood pressure ({BP}) reference tables are generally based on sex, age, and height and tend to be cumbersome to use in routine clinical practice. {I}n this study, we aimed to develop a new, height-specific simple {BP} table according to the international child {BP} reference table based on sex, age and height and to evaluate its performance using international data. {W}e validated the simple table in a derivation cohort that included 58,899 children and adolescents aged 6-17 years from surveys in 7 countries ({C}hina, {I}ndia, {I}ran, {K}orea, {P}oland, {T}unisia, and the {U}nited {S}tates) and in a validation cohort that included 70,072 participants from three other surveys ({C}hina, {P}oland and {S}eychelles). {T}he {BP} cutoff values for the simple table were calculated for eight height categories for both the 90th ("elevated {BP}") and 95th ("high {BP}") percentiles of {BP}. {T}he simple table had a high performance to predict high {BP} compared to the reference table, with high values (boys/girls) of area under the curve (0.94/0.91), sensitivity (88.5%/82.9%), specificity (99.3%/99.7%), positive predictive values (93.9%/97.3%), and negative predictive values (98.5%/97.8%) in the pooled data from 10 studies. {T}he simple table performed similarly well for predicting elevated {BP}. {A} simple table based on height only predicts elevated {BP} and high {BP} in children and adolescents nearly as well as the international table based on sex, age, and height. {T}his has important implications for simplifying the detection of pediatric high {BP} in clinical practice.},
