Comparison of two transcutaneous bilirubinometers--Minolta AirShields Jaundice Meter JM103 and Spectrx Bilicheck--in Thai neonates.
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...

متن کاملA comparison of transcutaneous bilirubinometers: SpectRx BiliCheck versus Minolta AirShields.
BACKGROUND Two devices are available for making transcutaneous estimates of serum bilirubin (SBR): the Minolta AirShields JM102 and the new SpectRx BiliCheck. OBJECTIVES (a) To measure how well the readings produced by these devices agree with SBR measured in the laboratory; (b) to estimate for each device, the proportion of infants with clinical jaundice who would require blood sampling if t...
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 کاملValidation of a transcutaneous bilirubin meter in Mongolian neonates: comparison with total serum bilirubin
BACKGROUND Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, especially kernicterus, can be prevented by screening for neonatal jaundice. The transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) meter is a non-invasive medical device for screening neonates. The study aimed to investigate the validity of a TcB meter in a resource-limited setting such as Mongolia. METHODS Term and late preterm neonates from the National Center for Mater...
