Infants With Bilirubin Levels of 30 mg/dL or More in a Large Managed Care Organization

Abstract

In this setting, TSB levels >or=30 mg/dL were rare and generally unaccompanied by acute symptoms. Although we did not observe serious neurodevelopmental sequelae in this small sample, additional studies are required to quantify the known, significant risk of kernicterus in infants with very high TSB levels.
