Abstract

Twenty-two months experience with a transcutaneous bilirubinometer (TCB) at Waikato Hospital is reported. During this period 2787 paired TCB and serum bilirubin samples were collected. Correlation coefficients for TCB (forehead and sternum) versus serum bilirubin in both Maori and caucasian infants ranged from 0.57 to 0.67.
