Abstract Synopsis

  • The study aimed to define normal oral temperature ranges by considering factors such as age, sex, height, weight, and time of day due to the poorly defined standard of "normal" temperature.
  • Using data from over 600,000 outpatient encounters, a filtering algorithm was applied to remove cases influenced by specific diagnoses that might skew temperature readings.
  • The analysis ultimately led to establishing individualized normal temperature ranges, highlighting the significant impact of certain medical conditions on temperature measurements.
