BiliCheck vs JM-103 in identifying neonates not at risk of hyperbilirubinaemia
BACKGROUND Transcutaneous bilirubinometry is widely used to predict hyperbilirubinemia by using several devices. The aim of this study was to compare the predictive ability of BiliCheck vs JM-103 in identifying neonates not at risk of significant hyperbilirubinemia, putting the data obtained with the two instruments on our transcutaneous bilirubin nomogram built with the BiliCheck. METHODS Tr...
متن کاملMeasuring transcutaneous bilirubin: a comparative analysis of three devices on a multiracial population
BACKGROUND Hyperbilirubinemia can lead to potentially irreversible bilirubin-induced neurotoxicity. Transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) determination has become a valuable aid in non invasive screening of neonatal jaundice.The aim of this study is to compare the performance of three most widespread transcutaneous bilirubinometers on a multiracial population of term and late pre-term neonates. METH...
متن کاملVitamin D and Hyperbilirubinaemia in Neonates
Objectives: Low antioxidant system may contribute to the severity of neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia. This study was performed with the aim of establishing whether there is a relationship between serum vitamin D level and the hyperbilirubinaemia in full-term neonates. Material and methods: This prospective study was performed by comparing serum vitamin D levels in newborns with a pathological leve...
متن کاملAccuracy of transcutaneous bilirubinometer estimates using BiliCheck in Thai neonates.
BACKGROUND Neonatal jaundice is the most frequently encountered diagnostic and therapeutic problem in the newborn. In the jaundiced infant, it is thought that the binding capacity of plasma albumin is exceeded, which allows free bilirubin to diffuse into and accumulate within extravascular tissues, such as the central nervous system. Affected newborns may develop kernicterus. The standard metho...
متن کاملIdentifying newborns at risk of significant hyperbilirubinaemia: a comparison of two recommended approaches.
AIMS To compare the predictive performance of clinical risk factor assessment and pre-discharge bilirubin measurement as screening tools for identifying infants at risk of developing significant neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia (post-discharge total serum bilirubin (TSB) >95th centile). METHODS Retrospective cohort study of term and near term infants born in an urban community teaching hospital i...
