• Abstract summary: Hypertension, defined as blood pressure (BP) that is above normal, holds paramount significance in the realm of public health. Existing BP measurement technologies and standards might be biased because they do not consider clinical outcomes, comorbidities, or demographic factors. We employed GPT-35-turbo, a large language model (LLM), to automatically extract the mean and standard deviation values of BP for both males and females from a dataset comprising 25 million abstracts sourced from PubMed.

• Abstract: Hypertension, defined as blood pressure (BP) that is above normal, holds paramount significance in the realm of public health, as it serves as a critical precursor to various cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and significantly contributes to elevated mortality rates worldwide. However, many existing BP measurement technologies and standards might be biased because they do not consider clinical outcomes, comorbidities, or demographic factors, making them inconclusive for diagnostic purposes. There is limited data-driven research focused on studying the variance in BP measurements across these variables. In this work, we employed GPT-35-turbo, a large language model (LLM), to automatically extract the mean and standard deviation values of BP for both males and females from a dataset comprising 25 million abstracts sourced from PubMed. 993 article abstracts met our predefined inclusion criteria (i.e., presence of references to blood pressure, units of blood pressure such as mmHg, and mention of biological sex). Based on the automatically-extracted information from these articles, we conducted an analysis of the variations of BP values across biological sex. Our results showed the viability of utilizing LLMs to study the BP variations across different demographic factors.

  Continuous blood pressure (BP) monitoring is essential for timely diagnosis and intervention in critical care settings. In this work, we propose a personalized BP forecasting model mainly using electrocardiogram (ECG) and photoplethysmogram ( photoplethysmogram) signals. Experiments are conducted on datasets collected from three diverse scenarios with BP measurements from 60 subjects total.

We propose different model-agnostic learners (so-called meta-learners) to estimate the bounds that can be used in combination with arbitrary machine learning models.

  Blood pressure (BP) monitoring plays a crucial role in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and management of cardiovascular diseases. Recent guidelines advocate for regular BP monitoring as part of regular clinical visits or even at home. BP measurements can demonstrate substantial biases and variances due to factors such as measurement and device errors, demographics, and body habitus.

  Most existing methods used in the hospitals for continuous monitoring of Blood Pressure (BP) are invasive. In this study, we explored the applicability of autoencoders in predicting BP from non-invasively collectible signals such as Photoplethysmogram ( PPG) and ECG signals. It was found that a very shallow, one-dimensional autoencoder can extract the relevant features to predict the SBP and DBP with the state-of-the-art performance on a very large dataset.
