“…Other authors obtained similar results using the same device [5,6,8]. However, in a study published in 2017 by Murli performed in 100 newborns, they found a bad correlation between the TSB and TCB before, during and after the treatment [10]. They also used the Bilicheck® but performed TCB measurements in a different area of the skin (sternum) covered by the BiliEclipse® patch.…”

“…This is also the series with the largest number of TCB determinations recorded on covered skin and the second in terms of the number of preterm infants included. Considering that the majority of studies using a skin cover have been performed with the Bilicheck® device [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13], our series is the most representative in number of cases of any gestational age and preterm age using the JM-105 device [14]. The use of TCB as a screening method for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is included in clinical practice guidelines.…”

“…258 Because the accuracy of transcutaneous bilirubinometry can be affected by various factors, including prematurity, use during phototherapy, 259 and skin color, 260,261 there is debate on whether transcutaneous bilirubinometers can fully replace serum bilirubin testing for guiding treatment decisions. 259,260,262,263 Guidelines for the management of late-preterm and term infants with hyperbilirubinemia in low-resource settings outline that the use of transcutaneous bilirubinometry is appropriate, but confirmatory serum bilirubin measurements should be used when transcutaneous measurements are above 12 mg/dL because of increased accuracy in serum bilirubin tests. 264 Several benchtop laboratory bilirubin instruments and transcutaneous bilirubinometers have been previously described by Carceller-Blanchard et al 265 …”
