Comparing Kramer’s rule with transcutaneous bilirubin vs. Kramer’s rule only in reducing total serum bilirubin sampling among neonates with jaundice
Incorporating TcB alongside KR for NNJ screening significantly reduces the need for TSB sampling without causing an escalation in phototherapy initiation or severe hyperbilirubinemia occurrences, suggesting the potential to optimize NNJ management in the local primary care setting.
