Each Measurement with a Confidence Interval.

If you believe that knowing your patients’ vital signs is important then you probably want your data to be accurate, significant and statistically valid. UFIT^® delivers on these key criteria by providing each measurement with a Confidence Interval.

What is a Confidence Interval? A Confidence Interval quantifies the variability of the result.

Why is quantifying the variability of the result significant? It is significant because in measuring blood pressure the object of measurement (blood pressure,  etc.) unlike a static object such as a block of stone inherently changes while it is being measured. Therefore measurement variability must be quantified so that the user can appreciate the reliability of the result.

When a typical blood pressure cuff displays a value of 140 mmHg this result could mean (1) 140 ±5 for a range of 135 to 145, or (2) 140 ±35 for a range of 105 to 175. The health and medication implications resulting from these two blood pressure scenarios would clearly be significantly different. Unfortunately a typical blood pressure monitor doesn’t provide any form of confidence interval and therefore cannot be considered a reliable monitor. Its displayed measurements by definition are not reliable measurements. Would you fly on an airplane if you didn’t know its engines were reliable?

The Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement:

The Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM) provides general rules for quantifying measurement variability [1]. Measurement variability quantified by the rules of GUM is called measurement uncertainty.  "In general, the result of a measurement is only an approximation or estimate of the value of the quantity being measured and thus is complete only when accompanied by a statement of the uncertainty of that estimate" [1, 2].

This means that a result given as Systolic = 120 mmHg is not complete; Systolic = 120 ±2 mmHg is a complete result statement; the distinction between "result" and "complete result" is the same as between "sentence" and "complete sentence".
