  • Title: [Transcutaneous bilirubinometry: correlation of the reading site obtained with spectrophotometry and diazoreaction technique].
    Author: Domínguez Ortega F, Ormazábal Ramos JC, Martín Zarza M, Domenech Martínez E.
    Journal: An Esp Pediatr; 1993 Nov; 39(5):438-40. PubMed ID: 8285460.
    Abstract:
    During the last ten years, the clinical use of a non-invasive method for the measurement of bilirubin became available as an alternative for classical routine procedures. Values obtained with a Minolta bilirubinometer from different reading sites were correlated with those obtained by using an optic bilirubinometer (American Diagnostics) and a dimethyl-sulfoxide mediated diazoreaction. The antero-external face of the thigh revealed the highest correlation coefficients with the two serum techniques (r = 0.925, p < 0.001) and was more efficient when the newborn was under phototherapy (r = 0.811, p < 0.01).
