About this trial

This is an interventional screening trial for Newborn Jaundice

Eligibility Criteria

0 Hours - 191 Hours (Child)All SexesAccepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Newborn born at ≥ 35 weeks gestation
  • Parent speaks and reads English
  • Parent provides written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  • previous or ongoing treatment with phototherapy for hyperbilirubinemia
  • Medical or other complications that preclude completion of the study

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Newborns

Arm Description

Newborns will be enrolled in the study in 2 different ways. At "Staged Enrollment" sites, newborns will be enrolled when they are < 48 hours old. These newborns will have a study visit when they are 48 - 167 hours old. At the study visit, a BCB will be determined and blood will be drawn for study purposes for a TSB level. At "Simultaneous Enrollment" sites, newborns will be enrolled and have a study visit at the time of a blood draw (+/- 2 hours) for a TSB level that is being obtained for clinical purposes. Newborns will be 0-191 hours old.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

BCB - TSB Correlation
Pearson correlation coefficient between paired BCB- TSB measurements

Secondary Outcome Measures

Intercept of Regression Line
The intercept of the regression line of paired BCB TSB values is reported (BCB is the y-axis and TSB is the x-axis).
Slope of Regression Line
The slope of the regression line of paired BCB TSB values is reported (BCB is the y-axis and TSB is the x-axis).

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The goal of this study is to assess the accuracy of BiliCam, a non-invasive technology based on analysis of digital images obtained with an app installed on a commercial smartphone, in estimating total serum bilirubin levels in newborns. BiliCam estimated bilirubin levels will be compared to total serum bilirubin levels in up to 225 newborns.
Detailed Description
Jaundice, a yellowing of the skin and eyes caused by a build up of bilirubin in the blood, is a common problem in newborn infants. Measurement of total serum bilirubin (TSB) levels is used for clinical decision making. BiliCam is a non-invasive technology used to estimate TSB levels in newborns. With BiliCam, the user obtains digital images of a small portion of a newborn's skin using the BiliCam app installed on a commercial smartphone in a standardized manner. A color calibration card is placed on the baby's sternum to account for varying light conditions. Data on color levels in the photos are used to estimate a bilirubin level. For the study, paired BiliCam estimated bilirubin (BCB) and TSB levels will be compared on a racially and ethnically diverse sample of newborns. Recruitment will continue until 225 newborns have completed the study.
