- What is the cost-effectiveness of transcutaneous bilirubin measurements in newborns compared with serum bilirubin measurements?
- What are the evidence-based guidelines regarding transcutaneous bilirubin measurements in newborns?
Key Message
One health technology assessment report, one systematic review with meta-analysis, one randomized controlled trial, 21 non-randomized studies, and one economic evaluation were identified regarding the clinical effectiveness, diagnostic accuracy, or cost-effectiveness of transcutaneous bilirubin measurements in well newborns. Additionally, three evidence-based guidelines were identified.
