July 31, 2024 updated by: Jolita Bekhof, Princess Amalia Children's Clinic

Transcutaneous Bilirubinometry in Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia During and After Phototherapy: a Randomized Controlled Trial

A randomized Controlled trial comparing the use of transcutaneous bilirubinometry to serum bilirubin measurements (via blooddraws = standard care) in neonates born after a gestational age > 32 weeks and < 15 days of age treated with Phototherapy for neonatal hyperbilrubinemia.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

A randomized Controlled trial comparing the use of transcutaneous bilirubinometry to serum bilirubin measurements (via blooddraws = standard care) in neonates born after a gestational age > 32 weeks and < 15 days of age treated with Phototherapy for neonatal hyperbilrubinemia. Main outcome measurement is the number of blooddraws for measurement of bilirubin. Secondary outcome measurements are duration of phototherapy and hospitalisation.
