As you know for the hypothermia hospital event, the temperature is defined as < 34 C or 93.2 F. Does this also apply to the diagnosis or may we pick it up per AIS score at 35 C?
If it is present on arrival, for the purposes of diagnoses, you can enter up to 35 c. You are correct that this is different from the hospital event definition.
