简要总结
The primary aim of this study was to determine the accuracy of an infrared thermometer compared to the gold standard, mercury-in-glass thermometer. The secondary aim was to compare tympanic and axillary temperature measurements by evaluating agreement and correlation to determine whether an infrared tympanic thermometer can replace an axillary mercury thermometer in the emergency department.

结局指标
主要结局
The body temperatures of fever patients measured by the infrared tympanic thermometer
时间窗: up to 5 months
1. Fever patients were measured by the infrared tympanic thermometer in the emergency department. 2. Their tympanic temperatures were obtained from both sides of the body three times. 3. Use statistical methods to evaluate the relevance and consistency between the tympanic temperatures and gold standard temperatures(measured by the glass mercury thermometer).
