Temperature measurement at well-child visits in the United States
The Journal of Pediatrics Jan 30, 2021
Dang R, Schroeder AR, Patel AI, et al. - In this cross-sectional study, researchers sought to discover the frequency and predictors of temperature measurement at well-child visits in the US and report rates of interventions associated with visits at which temperature is measured and fever is detected. Between 2003 and 2015, 22,518 sampled well-child visits from the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey were analyzed. According to findings, the temperature was measured in almost half (48.5%) of all well-child visits. When temperatures were measured and fever was detected, interventions were more common. Further assessment warrants the importance of regular temperature measurement during well-child visits.
