An Evaluation of Community Assessment, Diagnosis and Incidence of Neonatal Jaundice in Birmingham and Solihull Local Maternity System

We are focussing on neonatal jaundice assessments in the community, looking at both transcutaneous bilirubin and serum bilirubin results and establishing any trends. In addition, we are looking at whether transcutaneous testing can reduce the need for invasive serum bilirubin testing and plan to use the findings to influence the design of a new clinical pathway.
