Baby Check, a scoring system for assessing the severity of illness in babies under 6 months old, has not met with the success its developers expected. The inclusion of rectal temperature in the assessment was strongly opposed by the Royal College of Midwives, which refused to alter its view despite evidence of the safety and accuracy of rectal thermometry. British parents appear not to like rectal thermometers either. Most other medical bodies have supported Baby Check and the reason for midwives' opposition may have more to do with professional pique at not being consulted than clinical wisdom.
“婴儿健康检查”是一种用于评估6个月以下婴儿疾病严重程度的评分系统，但并未取得其开发者预期的成功。皇家助产士学院强烈反对在评估中纳入直肠温度，尽管有证据表明直肠测温法的安全性和准确性，但该学院仍拒绝改变其观点。英国父母似乎也不喜欢直肠体温计。大多数其他医学机构都支持“婴儿健康检查”，助产士反对的原因可能更多地与未被咨询而产生的职业不满有关，而非临床智慧。
