Filter by:The primary efficacy endpoints are the standard deviation and coefficient of determination (R2) between predicted and actual values for the bilirubin regression model, and the grading accuracy for the jaundice severity classification model. The secondary efficacy endpoint is the mean percentage error between predicted and actual bilirubin values. There are no relevant safety risks. Statistical differences for categorical variables (e.g., jaundice grading evaluation indicators) will be analyzed using the chi-square test or Fisher's exact probability test. For continuous variables (e.g., bilirubin prediction evaluation indicators), t-tests (normal distribution) or non-parametric tests (non-normal distribution) will be used. The 95% confidence interval for jaundice grading accuracy will be calculated using the Wilson method. The study duration is estimated to be 3 months.
This project aims to test a novel smartphone application, Picterus, which provides a cheaper, patient-friendly, and more readily means of neonatal jaundice detection. For this purpose, the study aims to collect data from newborns with a broad range of bilirubin levels and high melanin content in a population in Botswana.
The hemolytic disease of newborns (HDN) is one of the most significant risk factors for hyperbilirubinemia. Studies have shown that end-tidal carbon monoxide-corrected (ETCOc) correlated with the rate of bilirubin production in the body and thus can be a good surrogate to quantify hemolysis and identifying the high-risk infants. However, there is insufficient clinical evidence regarding the early prediction of hemolytic hyperbilirubinemia using ETCOc. This study hypothesizes that early postnatal ETCOc levels are significantly associated with the risk of hemolytic hyperbilirubinemia requiring treatments within 14 days after birth, and early postnatal ETCOc can be a good indicator for early prediction of hemolysis. In addition, the investigators aim to investigate the relationship between the characteristics of treatments for hyperbilirubinemia and ETCOc.
In our study, the effect of the frequency of position changes on hyperbilirubinemia in babies hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and receiving phototherapy treatment will be investigated. This study was planned as a single-center randomized controlled clinical trial to examine the effect of the frequency of position changes on the time it takes for hyperbilirubinemia to subside in babies receiving phototherapy treatment in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Mersin City Training and Research Hospital. Babies included in the study will be randomly divided into two groups by randomization method. While the babies in the study group will be subjected to position changes (supine, prone, lateral) every 2 hours, the same procedure will be applied to the control group every 6 hours. All newborns included in the study were treated with the Unitest (Blue angel) LED Phototherapy device, which is used as standard in the neonatal intensive care unit, at a distance of 25-40 cm, at a wavelength of 425-475 nm, at 45 watts, at 50/60 Hz. Phototherapy will be applied unidirectionally. During phototherapy, only the perineal area of the babies will be covered with a reduced diaper, and their eyes will be covered with a three-layer, cotton, black eye patch that transmits 99.5% of ultraviolet rays. During phototherapy sessions, the total serum bilirubin level of the patient is checked; Phototherapy will be continued until it falls below the threshold value in the Bhutani nomogram, which is evaluated according to postnatal days and risk factors. The descriptive characteristics of the babies included in the study and their total bilirubin and hematocrit values before the start of phototherapy will be recorded on the form prepared by the researchers. After phototherapy begins, position changes will be made every two hours for babies in the experimental group and every six hours for babies in the control group until the total serum bilirubin value falls below the phototherapy threshold value in the Bhutani nomogram. Bilirubin levels will be measured and recorded by venous measurement at the sixth hour and the 24th hour, and this process will be continued regularly until the bilirubin value decreases to the normal range. This practice is performed routinely in the clinic and will not be considered specific to the study.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of sunbathing and Bifidobacterium alone or in combination for full-term neonates with hyperbilirubinemia. The investigators hypothesize that the combination therapy of sunbathing plus Bifidobacterium is safe and effective for prevention and management of hyperbilirubinemia in full-term neonates. The investigators therefore design this prospective, randomized, controlled study to assess the preventive effects of sunbathing combined with Bifidobacterium supplementation on hyperbilirubinemia in full-term neonates. These observations may provide scientific evidence for the use of sunbathing and Bifidobacterium supplementation in the management of hyperbilirubinemia in full-term neonates.
This study aimed to examine the effect of white cover and massage application on newborns' bilirubin level and duration of phototherapy in newborns receiving phototherapy.
Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia ( NHB ) has many causes and is difficult to diagnose, and genetic factors play an important role in the metabolism of bilirubin. However, there is no literature report on the correlation between jaundice gene polymorphism and clinical manifestation polymorphism in big data population. This project intends to conduct a prospective observational study led by the Department of Pediatrics of the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University and in conjunction with a multi-center cooperative hospital : ( 1 ) A total of 2,000 NHB neonatal dry blood spot samples were included for 24 genetic screening tests for 29 NHB-related genetic diseases. The construction of the gene database was completed and the carrying and pathogenicity of NHB-related genes in the population was analyzed to provide a scientific basis for the selection of mutation sites for large-scale NHB gene screening ; ( 2 ) Collect neonatal clinical data and percutaneous bilirubin levels through the hospital inpatient system and the ' percutaneous jaundice meter home monitoring + software doctor-patient interconnection ' method, complete the construction of the intelligent NHB clinical database, and analyze the impact of jaundice-related genes on NHB ; ( 3 ) Integrated analysis to understand the differences in the carrying rate of pathogenic genes in different degrees and special types of jaundice, and to explore the differences in the degree of jaundice carrying single or multiple jaundice pathogenic genes. This study will evaluate the feasibility of jaundice gene screening program in the detection of jaundice-related inherited metabolic diseases, and provide a basis for early treatment and prevention of NHB.
This is a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled parallel group superiority clinical trial among 94 pregnant women (47 in each group) to investigate the effect of maternal perinatal probiotic supplementation on neonatal jaundice, breast milk microbiome, maternal stool, and infant fecal microbiome. Vivomixx®-probiotic product will be used as treatment and placebo as a control.
The goal of this observational study is to compare the effectiveness and efficiency for precaution of severe hyperbilirubinemia in neonate by different follow-up methods of neonatal jaundice. There are two kinds of follow-up methods in the investigators clinical practice. The one is internet plus follow-up model, the other is conventional clinic follow-up method. Parents of the participant neonates can choose one by themselves. After parents of the participant signed informed consent, the investigators recorded several information including severe hyperbilirubinemia, length of phototherapy, follow-up times, et al. Then the investigators analysed these data in order to know what kind of follow-up method is better to prevent severe hyperbilirubinemia and more easy to be accepted.
The proposed study will incorporate an intervention previously un-studied in the US healthcare setting for prevention of hyperbilirubinemia
