Use of transcutaneous bilirubinometers in preterm infants in Japan

Key Points

The aim is to evaluate the utilization of transcutaneous bilirubinometers in preterm infants across facilities in Japan.
Survey of facilities using transcutaneous bilirubinometers
Comparison of usage between Level II centers and others
Assessment of guideline dissemination practices
Approximately half of facilities in Japan use transcutaneous bilirubinometers.
Higher usage is observed in Level II centers.
Wider dissemination of guidelines may lead to safer practices.

Abstract

TcBMs are used in approximately half of the facilities in Japan, with greater use in Level II centers. Broader dissemination of guidelines may encourage safer and more consistent practices.
