About this study

Official title: Development of Transcutaneous Bilirubin Nomogram to Identify Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia in Term and Late-preterm Infants: a Multicenter Study in China

Thirteen hospitals in China will participate in the study, which aims to provide data on transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) levels for the first 168 hr after birth in term and late-preterm neonates, and develop an hour-specific TcB nomogram.

The investigators hypothesize that the hour-specific TcB nomogram can predict neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in term and late-preterm Chinese infants, and plan appropriate follow-up for hyperbilirubinemia in newborns.

Read the detailed description

Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is very common; it is not always a benign condition. If left untreated, it can have devastating consequences including cerebral palsy and hearing loss. It is therefore critical to be able to identify the newborns at risk for severe hyperbilirubinemia.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Transcutaneous bilirubinometryDevice

    Device: JM-103 (Minolta, Osaka, Japan, jaundice assessment) Procedure: Transcutaneous bilirubinometry (TcB)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change of transcutaneous bilirubin levels from baseline to each postpartum examination up to 168 hr after birth

    During the first postnatal day, transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) measures were performed at 12-hour time intervals up to the age of 168 hr. TcB data are used to develop an hour-specific TcB nomogram.

    Measured: Every 12 hr for 168 hr.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Predictive ability of an hour-specific TcB nomogram

    Evaluate the rate of rise of bilirubin for different time periods and percentile curves and to assess predictive ability of these percentile curves for hyperbilirubinemia, defined as requirement of phototherapy.

    Measured: At the 28 days after birth

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hyperbilirubinemia, Neonatal, run by Nanjing Medical University at 16 sites in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Oct 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 sites in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change of transcutaneous bilirubin levels from baseline to each postpartum examination up to 168 hr after birth (time frame: Every 12 hr for 168 hr.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Oct 2014.
