摘要

Random measurement error is a pervasive problem in medical research and clinical practice.1 It occurs when measurements fluctuate unpredictably around their true values and is caused by imprecise measurement tools or true biological variability, or both. For instance, when blood pressure is assessed with a sphygmomanometer, random error may arise from imprecise measurement due to rounding error or from true diurnal or day to day variation in pressure. Hence, a blood pressure reading obtained at a single occasion may differ by an unpredictable (random) amount from an individual's usual blood pressure.Random measurement error differs from systematic measurement error.'' Systematic error occurs when the measurement error, after multiple measurements, does not average out to zero. The measurements are consistently wrong in a particular direction-for example, they tend to be higher than the true values. In the case of blood pressure measurement, systematic error may be due to improper calibration of the sphygmomanometer or improper arm cuff size, and averaging multiple blood pressure measurements will not help estimate true blood pressure.
