Touch detection of neonatal hypothermia in Nepal.

M Ellis1, D Manandhar, L Hunt, S Barnett, K Azad.   

Abstract

The use of touch by health workers to detect hypothermia was examined in 250 newborns in Nepal. Palpation of the feet shows fair interobserver agreement (kappa = 0.4-0.7) and high sensitivity (>80%) but low specificity (36%-74%) compared with axillary thermometry. Traditional birth attendants should feel an infant's feet to detect hypothermia.
