چکیده
Background: Neonatal jaundice is a very common condition. Serious unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia may result in neurological dysfunction as catastrophic kernicterus. Phototherapy the method of choice treatment hyperbilirubinemia. Aim and objectives: aim study was to assess accuracy transcutaneous bilirubin measurement during phototherapy by using skin patch comparing this with serum at same time. Subjects methods: This an observational prospective conducted special care baby unit Al-wahda teaching hospital –Derna-Libya over period nine months (June 1st 2021 March 2022).Eighty (80) newborn (41 Male, 39 Female) were enrolled .Transcutaneous from sternum, under Rt. Side chest, simultaneously sample collected. Results: phototherapy; mean± SD TSB (14.94 ± 4.57 μmol/L) TCBC (13.52 4.84) level 9.45 3.62. Bland–Altman plot showed significant agreement between TcB patched site Conclusion: TCB measurements correlate strongly levels after PT.
