| Popis: | Background: This Study investigated the correlation among Transcutaneous Bilirubin (TcB) and Total Serum Bilirubin (TSB) levels in term and near-term neonates during Phototherapy and 24 hours after its cessation. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted from February 2022 to March 2023, involving a sample size of 230 neonates. TcB and TSB measurements were obtained at baseline, during Phototherapy, and 24 hours after cessation. The correlation between TcB and TSB levels was assessed using statistical analysis. Results: During Phototherapy (r = 0.85, p Conclusion: According to the outcomes of our research, there is a strong correlation among the levels of TcB and TSB in full-term and near-term neonates during Phototherapy and 24 hours after the conclusion of treatment. The measurement of TcB has the potential to be an effective noninvasive method for monitoring bilirubin levels in these neonates; however, it is essential to note that this method may result in a slight underestimation of TSB levels at higher concentrations. These results lend credence to the potential efficacy of TcB in the treatment of jaundice in infants, paving the way for early interventions and decreasing the need for invasive blood samples to diagnose jaundice. http://impactfactor.org/PDF/IJPCR/15/IJPCR,Vol15,Issue7,Article7.pdf |
