“…In this study, transcutaneous method was proven to be dependent on race, gestational age, and weight at birth and was limited in heterogeneous populations. 12 Therefore, it is consistent with this study. The study by Hegyi showed that transcutaneous sizes were not much of different in preterm neonates in every age group.…”

Background: Bili-Check is a simple test for non-invasive, quick, and painless estimation of the total serum bilirubin. This research aimed to compare serum and transcutaneous methods for the diagnosis of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.Methods: In this descriptive study, a sample of 120 neonates diagnosed with hyperbilirubinemia was selected using convenience non-probability. They were hospitalized in Amir Al-Momemin Hospital of Zabol, Iran in 2013. The extent of neonatal bilirubin was measured by NINGBO DAVID and lab test. Then, they were compared. The data were analyzed using correlation and t-test in SPSS 22.Results: In this descriptive study, a sample of 120 neonates diagnosed with hyperbilirubinemia was selected using convenience non-probability. They were hospitalized in Amir Al-Momemin Hospital of Zabol, Iran in 2013. The extent of neonatal bilirubin was measured by NINGBO DAVID and lab test. Then, they were compared. The data were analysed using correlation and t-test in SPSS 22.Conclusions: The results showed that Bili-Check can be recommended as an appropriate tool for screening and monitoring phototherapy process. The serum method can be replaced by Bili-check.

“…A surprising result of Hanneman and coworkers' study (4) was a correlation of 0.86 of TcB index and serum bilirubin concentrations in infants treated with phototherapy. In an earlier report we questioned the value of TcB measurements under phototherapy because our correlation studies did not reach statistically significant levels (5). In the present work, in spite of the heterogeneous characteristics and limited numbers of the infants studied, we achieved statistically significant (P < 0.05) correlation between TcB measurements from exposed skin and serum bilirubin levels.…”

“…Several recent reports have provided statistically significant correlations, with coefficients of correlation ranging from 0.72-0.95 (4,5 , 1 I, 19). A surprising result of Hanneman and coworkers' study (4) was a correlation of 0.86 of TcB index and serum bilirubin concentrations in infants treated with phototherapy.…”

“…Over the past two decades, numerous attempts have been made to develop a more precise transcutaneous device and to investigate the accuracy of TcB measurements in screening for neonatal jaundice [7][8][9]. The original bilirubinometers demonstrated that the correlation between transcutaneous and serum bilirubin measurements was affected by skin pigmentation, gestational age and birth weight, and was dependent on race/ethnicity [10][11][12][13].…”

A prospective observational study was conducted on 212 neonates born between 24 and 42 weeks of gestation who required blood sampling to determine total serum bilirubin (TSB) in the first week of life, prior to phototherapy. The transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) measurements were performed on the infant’s forehead using BiliCheck™ within ±30 min of a blood sample being drawn. There was significant (r = 0.78) correlation between bilirubin levels obtained transcutaneously and those measured in the infant’s blood. The correlation was not affected by birth weight and was dependent on the bilirubin levels. The negative nonsignificant correlation appears when TSB levels are greater than 11 mg/dl. Thus, TcB measurements can accurately predict TSB values lower than 11 mg/dl in a multiracial preterm and term neonatal population.
