Thanks Sam, That was helpful but would you agree that is does not make much sense to use a reference range for blood pressure in the same manner as you would for a lab test. I have suggested that if Pablo is trying to set trigger conditions e;g a series of BPs over a particular level, then this properly belongs in the guideline/pathway space, rather than as ref ranges?
