Using a Minolta/Air Shields apparatus, the authors made 1040 transcutaneous estimations of the intensity of jaundice and examined at the same time the serum bilirubin in 603 normal mature neonates. They revealed a significant (P less than 0.001) correlation between the results of this estimation on the sternum and bilirubinaemia (r = 0.75). Based on the assessment of the 95% confidence limit of prediction of linear regression the authors defined and confirmed by statistical calculations for bilirubinaemia values of 200, 250 and 300 mumol/l four grades of intensity of jaundice. By the suggested procedure omission of early indication of laboratory examination and phototherapy is reduced to a minimum and conversely it is possible to avoid in some neonates collection of blood samples for laboratory examination.
作者使用美能达/空气屏蔽仪对603例正常足月新生儿进行了1040次经皮黄疸强度测定，并同时检测了血清胆红素。他们发现胸骨部位的该测定结果与胆红素血症之间存在显著相关性（P<0.001，r = 0.75）。基于线性回归预测的95%置信区间评估，作者通过统计计算确定并证实了针对200、250和300μmol/l胆红素血症值的四个黄疸强度等级。按照建议的程序，可将实验室检查和光疗的早期指征遗漏降至最低，反之，在一些新生儿中也可避免采集血样进行实验室检查。
