Significant changes in these guidelines include 1 the replacement of the term prehypertension with the term elevated blood pressure 2 new normative pediatric blood pressure BP tables based on normal-weight children 3 a simplified screening table for identifying BPs needing further evaluation 4 a simplified BP classification in adolescents 13 years of age that aligns with the.
