The non-invasive methods including transcutaneous bilirubinometry have been developed for assessment of neonatal jaundice, transcutaneous bilirubin TcB) meters noninvasively estimate the bilirubin levels by measuring light transmission through the skin of neonates this value is then to be plotted against a chart in order to look for hyperbilirubinemia. Aim was to determine the efficacy of measuring the transcutaneous bilirubin as a screening tool for clinically significant hyperbilirubinemia. Methods: Study was a cross sectional study conducted under pediatric department of SMBT IMS and RC at tertiary care center after taking the approval from the ethical committee. Total of 110 neonates that appear to be clinically suffering from neonatal jaundice were considered for study after consent from respective parent/ guardian. Neonatal TCB levels and serum bilirubin levels were done. If bilirub...

New-borns with less than 2.5 kg birth weight are termed as low birth weight (LBW). Approximately 28% babies in India are LBW. LBW is associated with high neonatal morbidity and mortality. Early diagnosis of LBW and apt intervention can lead to favourable outcome. The 70-80% of births take place either at home or at peripheral hospitals. Measuring birth weight is difficult in India due to resource limited set up. There is a need of alternative methods to detect LBW which should be simple, handy, quick and cost effective. Hence, we decided to do study of correlation of calf muscle circumference and chest circumference with birth weight to determine LBW in new-borns. Aim of the study was to study head circumference and foot length in diagnosing LBW babies. Objectives were to correlate above-said anthropometric parameters with birth weight and to decide indicator w...

In this prospective double-masked cohort study, a pediatrician and a pediatric ophthalmologist performed the EBT in a classroom of a school in semi-dark lighting condition using a direct ophthalmoscope. The results of the test were compared using 2 × 2 Bayesian table and kappa statistics. The findings of the pediatric ophthalmologists were considered gold standard. Two hundred and thirty-six eyes of 118 subjects, mean age 6.8 ± 0.5 years (range, 5.4-7.8 years), were examined. The time taken to complete this test was <10 s per subject. The ophthalmologist identified 59 eyes as ametropic (12 hyperopic and 47 myopic eyes) and 177 as emmetropic compared to 61 eyes as ametropic and 175 emmetropic by pediatrician. The prevalence of the test positive was 25.9%. The sensitivity of the pediatrician was 90.2%, specificity was 97.7%, pred...
