Evaluation and treatment of jaundice in the term infant: A kinder, gentler approach. The authors concluded that phototherapy significantly interfered with the accuracy of transcutaneous bilirubinometry; TcB measurements performed 2 hours after stopping phototherapy were not reliable, even if they were performed on the unexposed body area. } The USPSTF concluded that the evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and harms of screening for hyperbilirubinemia to prevent CBE. Approximately 10 to 20 percent of newborns have an umbilical hernia. It has been debated if there is an upper limit on the efficiency of phototherapy. 1992;89:821-822. @media print { You must log in or register to reply here. Published March 24, 2016 (updated June 1 2, 2018). All but 1 of the included studies were conducted in Iran. If the newborn jaundice is excessive, hospitals use bili lights. Codes 99478-99480 each are described as, "Subsequent intensive care, per day, for the evaluation and management of the recovering low or very low birth weight infant" with the code selected based. BiliCheck variability (+/- 2 SD of the mean bias from serum bilirubin) was within -87.2 to 63.3 micromol/L, while BiliMed variability was within -97.5 to 121.4 micromol/L. Data sources included PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, China Biology Medicine, VIP Database, and Wanfang Database. If the lining closes and the fluid has nowhere to go, its a noncommunicating hydrocele. } Hayes Directory. In a prospective study, Casnocha and colleagues (2016) tested the accuracy of TcB measure in newborns undergoing phototherapy. For the term neonates, there were significantly lower bilirubin levels in the clofibrate group compared to the control group after both 24 and 48 hours of treatment with a weighted mean difference of -2.14 mg/dL (95 % CI: -2.53 mg/dL to -1.75 mg/dL) (-37 mol/L; 95 % CI: -43 mol/L to -30 mol/L] and -1.82 mg/dL (95 % CI: -2.25 mg/dL to -1.38 mg/dL) (-31 mol/L; 95 % CI: -38 mol/L to -24 mol/L), respectively.

Li and colleagues (2019) examined the associations between G6PD 1388 G>A, SLCO1B1 rs4149056 and BLVRA rs699512 variants and the risk of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in a Chinese neonate population. Cochrane Database Syst Rev. These researchers stated that healthcare organizations and health workers should choose intermittent phototherapy as the preferred therapy for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. These researchers conducted a systematic review of studies comparing TcB devices with TSB in infants receiving phototherapy or in the post-phototherapy phase. 1990;4(6):304-308. One study reported a significant reduction in the risk of hyperbilirubinemia and rate of treatment with phototherapy associated with enteral supplementation with prebiotics (RR 0.75, 95 % CI: 0.58 to 0.97; 1 study, 50 infants; low-quality evidence). Do not confuse light treatment with ultraviolet light therapy, which is usually used for skin conditions such as psoriasis. Pediatrics. All searches were re-run on April 2, 2012. Aetna considers genotyping of BLVRA, SLCO1B1 and UGT1A1 experimental and investigational for assessing risk of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia because the clinical value of this approach has not been established. list-style-type: lower-alpha; Per the ICD-10-PCS Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting, only clinically significant conditions are reported. This generally refers to an undescended or maldescended testis. The single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of G6PD 1388 G>A, SLCO1B1 rs4149056 and BLVRA rs699512 loci were examined by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Sanger sequencing technique in the peripheral blood of all subjects. Ambalavanan N, Carlo WA. The primary outcome was a composite of death or neurodevelopmental impairment determined for 91 % of the infants by investigators who were unaware of the treatment assignments. The authors concluded that effects of screening on the rates of bilirubin encephalopathy are unknown. There is no CPT code because these hospital screenings are usually done by hospital staff who are trained by an audiologist. Cochrane Database Syst Rev. The beroptic system consists of a pad of Yang and colleagues (2018) noted that zinc sulfate may be a promising approach to treat neonatal jaundice. The authors stated that this study had several drawbacks. Arch Dis Child Fetal Neonatal Ed. 2020;59(6):588-595. The correlation coefficient improved marginally in the post-phototherapy phase (r = 0.72, 95 % CI: 0.64 to 0.78, 4 studies). cursor: pointer; This reduction may be offset by an increase in mortality among infants weighing 501 to 750 g at birth. Third, since RCTs of included studies centered in a short observation period and did not follow-up the patients in long-term, the methodological quality of clinical trials with probiotics supplementation therapy for neonatal jaundice needed further improvement. PubMed, Embase, Web of science, EBSCO, Cochrane library databases, Ovid, BMJ database, and CINAHL were systematically searched; RCTs evaluating the effect of zinc sulfate versus placebo on the prevention of jaundice in neonates were included. 1998;94(1):39-40. 2. Aggressive phototherapy did reduce rates of neurodevelopmental impairment (26 %, versus 30 %for conservative phototherapy; relative risk, 0.86; 95 % CI: 0.74 to 0.99). The receiver operating characteristic analysis (for serum bilirubin levels greater than 205.2 micromol/L or greater than 239.4 micromol/L) showed significantly higher areas under the curve for BiliCheck than those for BiliMed (p < 0.001). As with the initial critical care, only one physician may report code 99469 on a given date.
