Blood Pressure Screening by Outpatient Physical Therapists: A Call to Action and Clinical Recommendations.
Richard Severin, Ahmad Sabbahi, Ali Albarrati, Shane A Phillips, Sara Arena
PMID 32232372WHAT IT FOUND
This is a clinical recommendations article, not a study.
It suggests physical therapists screen blood pressure, but it reports no participants, methods, or outcomes, so there is no research finding to act on.
What this paper is
This is a clinical recommendations and call-to-action article for outpatient physical therapists, not an original study. It summarizes prior evidence and suggests blood pressure screening practices, but it reports no methods, participants, or outcomes of its own, so there is no research finding to act on.
The easy way to misread this
Do not read this as evidence that blood pressure screening by physical therapists improves patient outcomes. It is a recommendations paper, not a trial or cohort study.
