| Abstract | Background To confirm the accuracy of transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) in the neonatal intensive care unit both with and without phototherapy, and compare forehead and sternum as the TcB assessment site. Methods We simultaneously assessed the total serum bilirubin (TSB) and TcB at the forehead and sternum, using a JM-103 bilirubinometer. We analyzed the correlation between the TSB and TcB assessed at the forehead and sternum, with measurements classified as ‘without phototherapy’ (before phototherapy and > 24 hours after phototherapy discontinuation) and ‘with phototherapy’ (after 24 hours of phototherapy). Results There were 1,084 paired forehead and sternum TcB measurements, with the corresponding TSB measurement, from 384 infants. Their mean gestational age of 35.4 ± 3.2 weeks (62% were preterm) and a mean birth weight of 2434 ± 768 grams, and TSB was 6.61 ± 3.56 mg/dL. Without phototherapy, TcB values at the forehead and sternum were correlated well to the TSB value (r = 0.925 and 0.915, respectively). With phototherapy, TcB values at the forehead and sternum were significantly correlated with the TSB value, but TcB at the forehead (r = 0.751) was a better match to the TSB than was TcB at the sternum (r = 0.668). Additionally, Bland-Altman plots showed a greater degree of underestimation of the TSB by TcB at the sternum with phototherapy. Conclusions TcB was more accurate in infants not receiving phototherapy. During phototherapy, it is better to assess TcB at the forehead rather than at the sternum. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
