to clinically validate the accuracy of the defining characteristics in nursing diagnoses of Hyperthermia in newborns.
a cross-sectional study conducted in units of medium and high risk in a maternity from the city of Fortaleza-CE. A total of 216 newborns were evaluated to identify the defining characteristics of diagnoses. A latent class model with random effects was used to measure sensitivity and specificity.
Hyperthermia was present in 5.6% of the sample. The characteristics lack of suction maintenance (31.3%); skin warm to touch (25.5%); lethargy (24.2%); and tachypnea (21.4%) were the most frequent. Stupor presented higher sensitivity (99.9%) and specificity (100%) while vasodilation characteristics, irritability and lethargy only showed significant values for specificity (92.7%, 91.6% and 74.3%, respectively).
four characteristics of high specificity contribute to Hyperthemia. However, stupor is the only one with significant sensitivity to identify it at its early-stage.
临床验证新生儿高热护理诊断中界定性特征的准确性。
在福塔雷萨市(塞阿拉州)一家妇产医院的中高风险科室进行横断面研究。共评估了216例新生儿以确定诊断的界定性特征。采用具有随机效应的潜在类别模型来测量敏感性和特异性。
样本中5.6%的新生儿存在高热。最常见的特征包括吸吮维持能力缺乏(31.3%);皮肤触之温暖(25.5%);嗜睡(24.2%);以及呼吸急促(21.4%)。昏迷的敏感性(99.9%)和特异性(100%)较高,而血管扩张特征、易激惹和嗜睡仅显示出显著的特异性值(分别为92.7%、91.6%和74.3%)。
四个具有高特异性的特征有助于诊断高热。然而,昏迷是唯一在早期识别高热时具有显著敏感性的特征。
