Transcutaneous Bilirubinometry in Preterm Infants Receiving Phototherapy

Abstract: The accuracy of transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) measurements obtained with a Bilicheck device in 70 preterm neonates before phototherapy and during phototherapy from the exposed and unexposed skin of the forehead (under the eye patch) was evaluated by comparing the TcB with the total serum bilirubin (TSB) that was performed within +/- 30 minutes of the TcB measurements. The correlation and proportion of similar, overestimated, and underestimated paired TcB/TSB measurements was calculated. A TSB point estimate o… Show more

“…In this population, we showed diagnostic performance of TcB was comparable for hyperbilirubinemia screening and for bilirubin monitoring during phototherapy and in the hours following treatment discontinuation. These results had also been found by others in term or near-term populations [13,14], although this is still debated [12]. …”

“…However, the performance of TcB during phototherapy and in the hours after discontinuation of phototherapy is still debated, even in term and near-term neonates [12,13,14], and has never been explored in very preterm infants.…”

“…It uses 137 wavelengths in the range 380-700 nm and analyzes them according to an algorithm using the degree of spectrum reflection (5). Measuring of transcutaneous bilirubin using BiliCheck has been examined in several trials in preterm infants (6)(7)(8)(9)(10). However, there is only one such publication using JM-103 in preterm infants (4), and to our knowledge, no comparisons exist between the devices in preterm infants.…”
