Validation of a transcutaneous bilirubin meter in Mongolian neonates: comparison with total serum bilirubin
BACKGROUND Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, especially kernicterus, can be prevented by screening for neonatal jaundice. The transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) meter is a non-invasive medical device for screening neonates. The study aimed to investigate the validity of a TcB meter in a resource-limited setting such as Mongolia. METHODS Term and late preterm neonates from the National Center for Mater...
متن کاملTranscutaneous Bilirubin Nomogram for Healthy Term and Late Preterm Neonates in First 96 Hours of Life.
BACKGROUND To develop nomogram of Transcutaneous Bilirubin among healthy term and late-preterm neonates during first 96 hours of age. DESIGN Longitudinal observational study. SETTING Neonatal unit of a tertiary care Hospital of Central Gujarat, India. Participants 1075 healthy term and late preterm neonates (≥35weeks). INTERVENTION Six-hourly transcutaneous bilirubin was obtained from b...
متن کاملTranscutaneous bilirubin nomogram for prediction of significant neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.
OBJECTIVE The goal was to develop a predictive nomogram, based on transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) measurements, for assessment of the risk of significant hyperbilirubinemia in healthy term and near-term neonates. METHODS A total of 10382 TcB measurements were performed with 2039 healthy neonates (gestational age of > or =35 weeks and birth weight of > or =2000 g), with a BiliCheck bilirubinome...
متن کاملComparing transcutaneous bilirubin versus serum bilirubin measurement using spectrophotometry for jaundice screening of full-term neonates
Background: Neonatal jaundice is an almost common problem among neonates that may cause complications such as kernicterus in severe cases. Since early diagnosis and proper treatment of neonatal jaundice is vital to prevent the related complications, it is necessary to check bilirubin before discharging the neonates. There are several evaluating and diagnostic methods to measure the level of bil...
متن کاملTranscutaneous bilirubin nomograms in African neonates
BACKGROUND The use of transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) as a screening tool, based on relevant population-specific nomogram, or proxy for total serum bilirubin (TSB) levels in assessing the risk of subsequent hyperbilirubinemia is supported by several clinical guidelines on the management of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. However, while TcB has been found to significantly over-estimate TSB in neonat...
