One hundred and sixty one jaundiced newborns were investigated for the usefulness of perspex icterometer as a screening tool for neonatal jaundice. Along with serum bilirubin estimation, icterometer score was simultaneously obtained in all the cases. The correlation between serum bilirubin and icterometer score was high (r = 0.99). The icterometer was useful in various subgroups. A high sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value was seen in all the groups. A possible role of icterometer in India for screening newborns with jaundice at peripheral level is highlighted.
对161名黄疸新生儿进行了研究，以评估有机玻璃黄疸计作为新生儿黄疸筛查工具的实用性。在所有病例中，除了测定血清胆红素外，还同时获得了黄疸计评分。血清胆红素与黄疸计评分之间的相关性很高（r = 0.99）。黄疸计在各个亚组中都很有用。在所有组中都观察到了高灵敏度、特异性、阳性和阴性预测值。强调了黄疸计在印度外周层面筛查黄疸新生儿方面可能发挥的作用。
