Assessing accuracy of BiliPredics algorithm in predicting individual bilirubin progression in neonates-results from a prospective multi-center study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Neonatal jaundice affects more than half of neonates. As bilirubin values usually peak few days after hospital discharge, jaundice remains a leading cause of rehospitalization. The recently developed BiliPredics algorithm, integrated in the first CE-approved bilirubin prediction tool, predicts individual bilirubin progression for up to 60 h into the future. Goal of the prospective study was to assess accuracy of this algorithm in predicting individual bilirubin prior to hospital discharge in neonates.

Methods

A prospective multi-center study was conducted in 2021 at the University Children's Hospitals in Tübingen and Regensburg, Germany. Various scenarios differing in type and number of bilirubin measurements and in prediction horizon were tested. Primary objectiv
