The ABPM guidelines were updated in 2022 to incorporate the 2017 AAPCPG thresholds for those\u2009\u2265\u200913\u00a0years and exclude blood pressure loads. The effect of the 2022 update on ABPM phenotype and its association with end-organ damage in this population remains unexplored.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We retrospectively evaluated pediatric kidney transplant recipients (age\u2009&lt;\u200922\u00a0years) who underwent 24-h ABPM for HTN surveillance between 1\/2021 and 9\/2024. We grouped ABPM phenotypes into two categories: HTN (masked, ambulatory, and 2014-specific severe ambulatory) and no HTN (normal, white-coat, and 2014-specific uncategorized). We assessed systematic differences between the two guidelines using McNemar\u2019s test and agreement using Cohen\u2019s Kappa coefficient.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our cohort included 105 recipients.

Among the 10 recipients with elevated ambulatory arterial stiffness index (AASI), the 2022 guidelines identified 80.0% as abnormal compared to only 30.0% under the 2014 guidelines (McNemar\u2019s p\u2009=\u20090.025), reflecting no significant agreement (Kappa: 0.19; 95% CI: -0.1, 0.49).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Compared to the 2014 criteria, the 2022 guidelines identified a higher proportion of pediatric kidney transplant recipients with HTN and more effectively identified abnormalities in recipients with elevated AASI.
