Measure
Newborns
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. BiliCam estimated bilirubin (BCB): Images will be obtained using the BiliCam app installed on a commercial smartphone and used to calculated a BCB level. The BCB levels will be used for study purposes only and not used for clinical care

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Newborns up to 192 hours old

Population: Participants who completed study visit and had valid paired TSB-BCB results. There were 3 participants in whom blood was obtained for TSB levels, but no valid measurement was available (1 grossly hemolyzed sample, 1 specimen lost, and 1 specimen not obtained within 2 hours of the BCB level). There were 3 participants in whom a BCB level could not be obtained by the study device.

0.82 correlation coefficient

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Newborns up to 192 hours old

Population: Participants with valid paired BCB and TSB values

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