摘要
This cross-sectional study was done to find the agreement between non-contact infrared thermometry and mercury-inglass thermometer. Two hundred and fifty febrile infants were recruited over a period of two months and axillary temperature was measured by both techniques. The mean (SD) temperature recordings of infrared and mercury thermometer were 37.6 (0.91)degrees C and 37.6 (2.49)degrees C, respectively; mean difference - 0.016 (96% CI - 0.32, 0.29). There was moderate agreement between both methods (kappa=0.602). Non-contact infrared thermometry can be used with good accuracy in febrile infants for temperature measurements.
