The authors studied bilirubin binding ability in the umbilical cord serum of 68 newborn infants ranging in gestational age from 18 to 42 weeks. There was no correlation between gestational age and the binding fraction (i.e., the ratio of the potential bilirubin binding concentration to the albumin concentration). Previous reports of the relationship between gestational age and bilirubin binding ability used bilirubin data derived from samples drawn at variable times after birth and probably reflect the unexplained effect of illness on bilirubin binding.
作者研究了68名胎龄在18至42周的新生儿脐带血清中的胆红素结合能力。胎龄与结合分数（即潜在胆红素结合浓度与白蛋白浓度之比）之间无相关性。先前关于胎龄与胆红素结合能力关系的报告使用的是出生后不同时间采集样本获得的胆红素数据，可能反映了疾病对胆红素结合的不明原因影响。
