    The performance of the BioSense and ESSENCE fever syndromes were compared using measured temperature as a gold standard. Both syndromes performed similarly, but the ESSENCE syndrome had higher sensitivity over the one year study period. Including recorded temperature data as a queryable variable would increase the sensitivity of the fever syndromes in both ESSENCE and BioSense.
