A clinical prediction rule for rebound hyperbilirubinemia following inpatient phototherapy.
The American Academy of Pediatrics provides little guidance on when to discontinue phototherapy in newborns treated for hyperbilirubinemia. In this study, the investigators sought to develop a prediction rule to estimate the probability of rebound hyperbilirubinemia after inpatient phototherapy. They concluded that the risk of rebound hyperbilirubinemia can be quantified according to an infant's gestational age, age at phototherapy initiation, and total serum bilirubin relative to the treatment threshold at phototherapy termination.
