Methods
In this retrospective observational cohort study, we included NIBP data of children with no or mild comorbidity younger than 18 yr old from the Multicenter Perioperative Outcomes Group data set.

Results
In total, 116,362 cases from 10 centers were available for the construction of NIBP age- and sex-specific reference …
