6 mar 2014 · Standardised threshold tables or charts. These are tables or charts that help healthcare professionals to implement treatment thresholds for phototherapy and exchange transfusion in accordance with NICE's guideline on jaundice in newborn babies.
Jaundice is caused by a raised level of bilirubin in the body, a condition known as hyperbilirubinaemia. Approximately 60% of term and 80% of preterm babies develop jaundice in the first week of life, and about 10% of breastfed babies are still jaundiced at 1 month.
The NICE guideline Jaundice in newborn babies under 28 days recommends using a transcutaneous bilirubinometer to measure the bilirubin level in babies with a gestational age of 35 weeks or more, but states that serum bilirubin measurement should be used in babies less than 35 weeks gestational age.
