In a study of adult trauma patients,
axillary temperatures had a mean temperature difference
from oral temperatures of 0.03 °C, with limits of agreement
ranging from -1.97 to +2.03 °C, which was significantly
better than TA mean differences from oral temperatures
of 0.27 °C, with limits of agreement of -2.13 to +2.66 °C
(Marable, Shaffer, Dizon, & Opalek, 2009).
