Using body temperature and variables commonly available in the EHR to predict acute infection: A proof-of-concept study showing improved pretest probability estimates for acute COVID-19 infection among discharged emergency department patients

2021-01-22

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Objectives</h4> Obtaining body temperature is a quick and easy method to screen for acute infection such as COVID-19. Currently, the predictive value of body temperature for acute infection is inhibited by failure to account for other readily available variables that affect temperature values. In this proof-of-concept study, we sought to improve COVID-19 pretest probability estimation by inco...
