Effect of bilirubin on visuocortical development in preterm infants
Vernier acuity in preterm infants <34 weeks' gestation is more vulnerable to the effects of bilirubin, suggesting that the extrastriate visual cortex is primarily affected by bilirubin. Therefore, guidelines for management of hyperbilirubinemia in preterm infants (<34 weeks' gestation) should be revised.
