Accuracy of a temporal scanner (the Exergen Temporal Scanner (TAT)-5000) compared with axillary or tympanic temperature measurement in hospitalized pediatric patients.

# data[].attributes.body
Axillary, tympanic, and temporal temperature measurements from 2 different groups of pediatric patients ages 0-3 months and 3 months to 21 years. And then comparing day shift results and night shift results

# data[].attributes.body
Two different data sets were compared when a group of pediatric patients had their body temperature measured with two different types of non-invasive devices. Dependent t-testing was used to determine if there were differences between the different measurement devices. Independent t-testing was conducted to determine if there were differences between temperature readings in two distinct groups, child and adolescent patients, measured on the day shift versus night shift.

The researchers discovered that there were substantial differences between mean temperature readings from the two different thermometry methods in all of the newborn, child, and adolescent groups. Also, there were substantial differences between child and adolescent groups on the day and night shifts.
