The aim of our study was to evaluate whether a portable, light-weight, light-emitting-diode phototherapy unit designed for home use is as effective as conventional blue-light fluorescent phototherapy (CFP) for treating hyperbilirubinemia in neonates.
A total of 50 patients were recruited sequentially for treatment using CFP (n = 25) and the home-type phototherapy unit (n = 25).
The average rate of decrease in bilirubin levels was 0.17 ± 0.02 and 0.20 ± 0.01 mg/dL/hours at the end of 24 hours in the groups receiving phototherapy by CFP and home-type phototherapy units, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in the rate of the decrease in bilirubin levels between the groups (p = 0.104).
It has been shown that the home-type phototherapy unit is as effective as CFP units in the treatment of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia and has the potential to become a standard of care for treatment of jaundiced neonates.
我们研究的目的是评估一款专为家庭使用设计的便携式、轻型发光二极管光疗设备在治疗新生儿高胆红素血症方面是否与传统蓝光荧光光疗(CFP)一样有效。
总共50例患者被依次纳入研究,分别使用CFP(n = 25)和家用型光疗设备(n = 25)进行治疗。
在接受CFP光疗和家用型光疗设备治疗的组中,24小时结束时胆红素水平的平均下降速率分别为0.17±0.02和0.20±0.01mg/dL/小时。两组之间胆红素水平下降速率无统计学显著差异(p = 0.104)。
已表明家用型光疗设备在治疗新生儿高胆红素血症方面与CFP设备一样有效,并且有潜力成为治疗黄疸新生儿的护理标准。
