The early discharge of neonates from hospitals makes transcutaneous measurement of total bilirubin concentration a useful tool to monitor neonatal jaundice. The objectives of this study were to determine whether 1) transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) measurement, as performed using BiliCheck (BC), correlates with total serum bilirubin (TSB) levels, measured with standard laboratory methods and with high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC-B); 2) infant race, gestational age, postnatal age, or body weight interferes with the measurement of TcB levels in newborn infants; 3) the variability of the TcB measurement is comparable to the variability of TSB measurements; and 4) TcB measurements obtained from the forehead (BCF) and sternum (BCS) generate comparable results.
