Brief Summary:
Thirteen hospitals in China will participate in the study, which aims to provide data on transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) levels for the first 168 hr after birth in term and late-preterm neonates, and develop an hour-specific TcB nomogram.
The investigators hypothesize that the hour-specific TcB nomogram can predict neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in term and late-preterm Chinese infants, and plan appropriate follow-up for hyperbilirubinemia in newborns.
Detailed Description:
Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is very common; it is not always a benign condition. If left untreated, it can have devastating consequences including cerebral palsy and hearing loss. It is therefore critical to be able to identify the newborns at risk for severe hyperbilirubinemia.
