Daily changes in fever patterns in children from an app-based study

Updated

Abstract

Febrile temperatures in children aged 0-7 years exhibit distinct 24-hour patterns.

  • Body temperature in young children shows a circadian rhythm that affects fever expression.
  • Fever management is often inconsistent due to 'fever phobia' and varied parental guidance.
  • The study utilizes real-world data from a mobile health registry called FeverApp.
  • Age and the use of fever-reducing medications may influence temperature patterns.
