The score is composed of a set of 10 items with grades 1, 2 or 3 for each item. The author assumed the mid score of 15 or less is not associated with true hypertension, it can be reactive, white-coat or unreliable measurement. And the score of 16 or above reflects a warning alarm to true hypertension that usually require monitoring, investigations and or treatment.
