我们评估了皮肤红外测温法（测量前额温度）检测急诊科发热患者的准确性。虽然阴性预测值很好（0.99），但阳性预测值很低（0.10）。因此，我们质疑使用这种方法对发热患者进行大规模检测。
We assessed the accuracy of cutaneous infrared thermometry, which measures temperature on the forehead, for detecting patients with fever in patients admitted to an emergency department. Although negative predictive value was excellent (0.99), positive predictive value was low (0.10). Therefore, we question mass detection of febrile patients by using this method.
