Newborns are at increased risk of jaundice, a condition in which excess bilirubin accumulates in blood. Left untreated, jaundice can lead to neurological impairment and death. Jaundice resulting from unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia is easily treated with exposure to blue light, and phototherapy systems have been developed for low-resource settings; however, there are no appropriate solutions to...
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...
Background: Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia leads to bilirubin neurotoxicity. Noninvasive transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) levels can be used as a screening tool for total serum bilirubin (TSB) levels. Objective: To evaluate the correlation of TcB for TSB levels before, during and after phototherapy and find the most reliable cutoff values of TcB levels with the highest sensitivity and specificity fo...
Transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) has been reported to have a high correlation with serum bilirubin. The objectives of this study were: (1) to compare the accuracy of two transcutaneous bilirubinometer (Minolto AirShields Jaundice Meter, JM103 (JM) and SpectRx, Bilicheck (BC) in estimating total serum bilirubin (TSB) levels; and (2) to assess the predictive ability of transcutaneous bilirubin in r...

 Introduction: Bilirubin is a frequently ordered investigation in neonatal intensive care units and out-patient practice during follow- up. The gold standard for its estimation serum bilirubin which invasive resulting parenteral apprehension, pain, discomfort iatrogenic anaemia neonate, while the non-invasive measurement by transcutaneous bilirubinometer not available all centres because ...
Background: Early and non-invasive diagnosis of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia remains critical in dark skinned babies low resource settings. Objective: To assess correlation/agreement between transcutaneous bilirubin (Tcb) serum (Tsb) values full term neonates with jaundice. Methodology: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted at the neonatology unit Essos Hospital Centre (EHC) from Jan...
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 ...
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...
BACKGROUND The gold standard to assess hyperbilirubinemia in neonates remains the serum bilirubin measurement. Unfortunately, this is invasive, painful, and costly. Bilimed, a new transcutaneous bilirubinometer, suggests more accuracy compared to the existing non-invasive bilirubinometers because of its new technology. It furthermore takes into account different skin colours. No contact with th...
