How This Calculator Works

Compares serum bilirubin against postnatal hours and risk factors using the Bhutani Nomogram.

Neonatal Jaundice Calculator — Bilirubin Nomogram

Determine if baby's jaundice levels require clinical phototherapy based on AAP guidelines.

Bhutani Risk Percentiles

The Bhutani nomogram plots bilirubin against hourly postnatal age to categorize newborn risk groups.

Phototherapy Treatment

Phototherapy utilizes blue light waves to break down bilirubin in the skin, allowing it to be excreted safely.
