Axillary and rectal thermometry in the newborn: do they agree?

BMC Research Notes

Table 2 Linear regression model ^* for predicting the difference between axillary and rectal temperature

Predictors	B coefficients	95% CI for B	P value
Delivery Mode	0.20	(0.02, 0.38)	0.03
Chronological age	-0.01	(-0.02, -0.01)	0.001
Gestational age	-0.05	(-0.08, -0.01)	0.008

^*Variables included in the model were: age, gender, gestational age, birth weight, birth length, mode of delivery, maternal anesthesia, and resuscitation at birth.
