Ano de publicação: 2016

This guideline covers diagnosing and treating jaundice, which is caused by increased levels of bilirubin in the blood, in newborn babies (neonates). It aims to help detect or prevent very high levels of bilirubin, which can be harmful if not treated. In October 2016, recommendation 1.4.9 was amended to clarify when intensified phototherapy should be used in relation to time since birth.
