Transcutaneous 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...
متن کاملTranscutaneous bilirubin nomograms: a systematic review of population differences and analysis of bilirubin kinetics.
OBJECTIVES To compare available nomograms in the literature defining trends in bilirubin levels across populations with different risk factor profiles and to study a mathematical bilirubin kinetics model describing the natural course of jaundice and the bilirubin rate of rise needed to cross percentile curves. DATA SOURCES We searched PubMed for publications between March 1999 and March 2009 ...
متن کاملA Comparison between Transcutaneous Bilirubin (TcB) and Total Serum Bilirubin (TSB) Measurements in Term Neonates
Background: Transcutaneous bilirubinometry (TCB) is a simple method for estimating bilirubin levels in neonates. This method is noninvasive, quick, and painless. We aimed to compare serum and cutaneous bilirubin measurements in term neonates.Method: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, 200 neonates with icter with birth weights of at least 2500 grams were studied. TCB was measured using a...
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 کاملTranscutaneous bilirubin in the pre-term infants.
OBJECTIVE 1) To evaluate the accuracy of transcutaneous bilirubin (T(C)B) measurement compared to total serum bilirubin level (TSB) in the pre-term infants and 2) To establish cut-off values of T(C)B that indicated need for TSB. MATERIAL AND METHOD Premature infants whose birth weight was more than 1,000 grams and gestational age less than 36 weeks had paired T(C)B-TSB assessment when jaundic...
