Abstract

[3] This study applies a network meta-analysis (NMA) approach to comprehensively analyze all available comparison studies among common PWV assessment methods. Certain publication types such as review articles, editorials, comments, guidelines, and case reports, duplicates, studies with insufficient data for network meta-analysis, and studies comparing the same method with different devices were excluded. Data extracted from original reports covered various aspects, including publication details, study location, population characteristics, assessment methods, devices used, PWV index, and baseline PWV means. In relation to tonometry, considered the gold standard, piezoelectric and oscillometric methods exhibit the narrowest LoAs on PWV, with a notably high correlation observed in tonometry vs. piezoelectricity comparison.
