Knowledge of a priori chances of underlying diseases may affect initial management, hence prognosis.

Exclusion criteria were iatrogenic hypothermia, no underlying cause reported, and patient selection based on specific diseases.

The 6 studies involved 2173 hypothermic patients, whose age varied from a mean of 67 to a median of 79\u00a0years and temperature from a median of 30.8 to a mean of 33.7 degrees Celsius. One study reported about primary hypothermia (incidence of 44%). Acute medical illness was often reported as underlying cause of secondary hypothermia (49\u201351%). Reported incidences of infection and sepsis ranged from 10 to 32%, of trauma up to 14%, and of alcohol intoxication from 5 to 26%.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Limited studies have been published regarding this topic, and the overall quality of the evidence was graded as low.
