St Olav Hospital in Trondheim and Akershus University Hospital in Lørenskog
Patients: 302 term newborns
- Age: 1 – 15 days
- Gestational age: ≥ 37 weeks
- Birth weight ≥ 2500 g
Aim: to evaluate the performance of Picterus Jaundice Pro in newborns of a Norwegian population.
Methods: observational cross-sectional study correlating methods of measuring bilirubin levels by:
- Images (Picterus JP)
- TcB (Dräger JM-103 or Dräger JM-105)
- Total serum bilirubin (TSB) measurements
Results: This was the first clinical study performed. The bilirubin measurements from the Picterus Jaundice Pro images were highly correlated to TSB levels.
