Screening for Hyperbilirubinemia in Japanese Very Low Birthweight Infants Using Transcutaneous Bilirubinometry.
OBJECTIVES To assess the accuracy of transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) measurements at 5 different body sites in Japanese very low birthweight (VLBW) infants and to determine a cut-off value of TcB to detect total serum/plasma bilirubin (TB) levels ≥10 mg/dL (171 μM). STUDY DESIGN In a prospective multicenter study, 85 Japanese VLBW infants were enrolled from 5 neonatal intensive care units duri...
متن کاملHyperbilirubinemia and transcutaneous bilirubinometry.
BACKGROUND Neonatal jaundice or hyperbilirubinemia is a common occurrence in newborns. Although most cases of neonatal jaundice have a benign course, severe hyperbilirubinemia can lead to kernicterus, which is preventable if the hyperbilirubinemia is identified early and treated appropriately. CONTENT This review discusses neonatal jaundice and the use of transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) measur...
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 کاملPATTERN OF PHYSIOLOGIC JAUNDICE AND INCIDENCE OF \"EXAGGERATED PHYSIOLOGIC\" HYPERBILIRUBINEMIA IN IRANIAN FULL-TERM INFANTS USING TRANSCUTANEOUS BILIRUBINOMETRY
Normal full-term infants were followed by serial transcutaneous bilirubinometry over the first week of life. The pattern of physiologic jaundice in our population was similar to that shown for white infants. Mean maximum bilirubin peak was seen on day four of life and was also similar to that shown for American white infants. The incidence of non physiologic hyperbilirubinemia defined as 2...

To determine whether history of chronic lung disease (CLD) in children born at very low birthweight (VLBW) confers additional risk for impaired health, growth, and neurodevelopment, 17 VLBW children born in 1984 who had CLD (requiring supplemental oxygen more than 30 days after birth) in infancy and 28 VLBW children who did not have CLD were assessed at age 7 years. Assessments included a medic...
