What this study has found? No studies reported outcomes for partial DSME completion.

How blockchain-timestamped protocols could improve the trustworthiness of medical science
Trust in scientific research is diminished by evidence that data are being manipulated 1. Outcome switching, data dredging and selective publication are some of the problems that undermine the integrity of published research.

Which cuff should I use? Indirect blood pressure measurement for the diagnosis of hypertension in patients with obesity: a diagnostic accuracy review
Conclusions BP measurement with a correctly fitting upper arm cuff is sufficiently sensitive and specific to diagnose hypertension in patients with obesity with a large upper arm circumference. If a correctly fitting upper arm cuff cannot be applied, an incorrectly fitting standard size cuff should not be used and BP measurement at the wrist should be considered. Results 4037 potentially relevant papers were identified. 20 studies involving 26 different comparisons met the inclusion criteria.
