Metrics Analysis
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.
