Objective  To retrieve, evaluate, and integrate evidence related to the operational procedures of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) in adults, aiming to enhance the accuracy and effectiveness of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.

Methods  A systematic search was conducted following the "6S" pyramid model of evidence-based resources to identify literature pertaining to ABPM operations in adults from relevant domestic and international databases and websites, with the search period spanning from the inception of each database to April 2024. After screening the literature, the methodological quality of the included studies was evaluated. Evidence was extracted and summarized according to thematic categories.

Results  Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 15 publications were ultimately included, comprising 1 clinical decision, 10 guidelines, 1 best practice summary, and 3 expert consensus documents. A total of 32 evidence items were synthesized.

Conclusions  This study consolidates evidence related to ABPM operational procedures, providing an evidence-based foundation for standardizing ABPM practices among healthcare professionals.
