Comparison of transcutaneous and plasma bilirubin measurement.
OBJECTIVES To compare transcutaneous bilirubin measurements made using Bilicheck equipment with assays of capillary plasma using the Unistat bilirubinometer (Leica). METHODS Two hundred concomitant assays were performed (transcutaneous and in plasma), and the correlation and level of agreement between them was calculated. An assessment was also made of the influence of birth weight, skin colo...
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 کامل[Evaluation of transcutaneous bilirubin measurement and agreement with bilirubinemia].
Evaluation of the neonates for jaundice and kernicterus is indispensable when early hospital discharge has become standard practice. Transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) measurement is an advantageous option because of its non-invasive nature and the possibility of its use near the patient. The point of care device BiliCheck has been compared in numerous instances to serum bilirubin. However, its cli...
