“…In mixed cohorts of patients with different risk factors for MH, the prevalence of MH ranged from 8 to 11% [ 2 , 69 ]. The prevalence of MH in children with several risk factors for hypertension has been studied recently [ 69 ]. Iturzaeta et al found MH in 9% of children in a prospective study among more than 100 children with at least one risk factor for hypertension such as prematurity, low birthweight, history of umbilical cord cannulation, isolated transient high OBP in the past medical history, overweight/obesity, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, or positive family history of hypertension [ 69 ].…”

It is difficult to compare the prevalence between different studies due to different characteristics of the patients’ populations [ 2 , 69 ].…”

Purpose of Review The goal is to review masked hypertension (MH) as a relatively new phenomenon when patients have normal office BP but elevated out-of-office BP. Firstly, it was described in children in 2004. It has received increased attention in the past decade. Recent Findings The prevalence of MH in different pediatric populations differs widely between 0 and 60% based on the population studied, definition of MH, or method of out-of-office BP measurement. The highest prevalence of MH has been demonstrated in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD), obesity, diabetes, and after heart transplantation. In healthy children but with risk factors for hypertension such as prematurity, overweight/obesity, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, or positive family history of hypertension, the prevalence of MH is 9%. In healthy children without risk factors for hypertension, the prevalence of MH is very low ranging 0–3%. Summary In healthy children, only patients with the following clinical conditions should be screened for MH: high-normal/elevated office BP, positive family history of hypertension, and those referred for suspected hypertension who have normal office BP in the secondary/tertiary center.
