Uses and Limitations of Transcutaneous Bilirubin Measurement

Mayo Study of TcB, cont.

June 2009

We also found that none of the clinical variables we collected: gestational age, postnatal age, or mother’s ethnicity, had any significant effect on the relationship between transcutaneous and serum bilirubin.  Among the laboratory variables we studied, the type of collection tube for serum bilirubin, clear vs. amber, did impact the relationship between transcutaneous and serum bilirubin for at least one of the serum methods studied.
