OBJECTIVES Substantial variability exists in hyperbilirubinemia screening and monitoring
leading to unnecessary total serum bilirubin (TSB) testing in healthy newborns. We aimed to …

OBJECTIVE. Kernicterus is a rare but devastating condition. The prevention of bilirubin-
induced brain injury is based on the detection of infants at risk for developing severe …

Background Screening for neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia in the postnatal ward has
traditionally been performed using serum bilirubin sampling, but this has significant …

Background: Newborns are being discharged from hospitals within 1–2 days of birth, before
hyperbilirubinemia usually becomes clinically evident. We investigated the use of …

Methods: We conducted plan-do-study-act cycles with targeted interventions to promote the
use of TcB in an outpatient clinic for eligible newborns older than 35 weeks gestational age …

Objective: To find the optimal transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) screening level in term
neonates that minimizes the discomfort of phlebotomy, while protecting the child from harm …

Objectives: Our goal was to assess the impact of programmatic and coordinated use of
transcutaneous bilirubinometry (TcB) on the incidence of severe neonatal …

Evaluation of jaundice is a critical part of newborn assessment in the outpatient setting.
Earlier postpartum discharge combined with increased awareness regarding the risks and …

Objective. To evaluate the effectiveness of transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) measurement in
predicting risk for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in outpatients. Design. Subjects were …

OBJECTIVE: To characterize discrepancies between transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB)
measurements and total serum bilirubin (TSB) levels among newborns receiving care at …
