This study compared axillary temperatures with either rectal or oral temperatures in 173 infants and young children. Axillary temperatures indicated a sensitivity of only 27.8% in their ability to detect fever in the febrile group. The age-old gold standard of estimating rectal temperature by adding 1 degree F to the oral and 2 degrees F to the axillary temperature was verified with afebrile group mean temperatures, but did not hold up with individual children's temperatures nor with febrile mean temperatures.
本研究比较了173名婴幼儿的腋窝温度与直肠温度或口腔温度。腋窝温度在检测发热组发热情况的能力方面，敏感性仅为27.8%。通过向口腔温度加1华氏度、向腋窝温度加2华氏度来估算直肠温度这一古老的金标准，在无热组平均温度中得到了验证，但在个体儿童的体温中以及发热组平均温度中并不适用。
