The use of touch by health workers to detect hypothermia was examined in 250 newborns in Nepal. Palpation of the feet shows fair interobserver agreement (kappa = 0.4-0.7) and high sensitivity (>80%) but low specificity (36%-74%) compared with axillary thermometry. Traditional birth attendants should feel an infant's feet to detect hypothermia.
在尼泊尔，对250名新生儿进行了卫生工作者通过触摸检测体温过低情况的研究。与腋温测量法相比，触摸足部显示观察者间一致性尚可（kappa值=0.4 - 0.7），灵敏度较高（>80%）但特异度较低（36% - 74%）。传统接生员应触摸婴儿足部来检测体温过低情况。
