Comparing 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 measurement in preterm neonates.
Hyperbilirubinemia is a common problem during neonatal period especially in preterm neonates. Transcutaneous bilirubin measurement (TcB) by special devices had been documented as an effective tool for predicting neonatal jaundice in full term neonate, but for preterm infants the present evidences are controversial. We carried out a prospective study in Shariati Hospital NICU. 126 paired TcB/tot...

متن کاملApplication of transcutaneous bilirubinometry for screening of neonates with significant hyperbilirubinemia in the city of Kerman
In order to screen for neonatal significant hyperbilirubinemia,a propective cross sectional study was carried out on 343 full-term neonates taken to investigator in Kerman between October 1995 and july 1996.there was a linear correlation between serum bilirubin and transcutaneous bilirubinometri (r=0.85,standard error=0.004).sensitivity and specificity of this method were 95% and 84% respective...
متن کاملTrends of transcutaneous bilirubin in neonates who develop significant hyperbilirubinemia.
OBJECTIVES To provide data on the natural course of transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) levels in neonates before the development of significant hyperbilirubinemia, and to assess the effect of different demographic and perinatal factors on the rate of TcB increase. METHODS We analyzed 2454 TcB measurements from 419 neonates before the development of significant hyperbilirubinemia. Mean TcB values ...
