NCT02760745 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 200

Last updated 2016-11-15

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Febrile shivering in the pediatric population is assumed to be related to a Severe Bacterial Infection (SBI). Research supporting this assumption is scant. The purpose of this study is to describe the frequency of febrile shivering in the pediatric population arriving at the emergency department and to define its role in predicting a SBI.
