Evaluation of total serum bilirubin thresholds for discontinuing phototherapy in jaundiced neonates: a randomized study

Ajay Kumar, Nidhi Jain

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2025;68(7):539-545. Published online February 26, 2025

Question: What are the outcomes of jaundiced neonates when phototherapy is discontinued at 2 different total serum bilirubin (TSB) thresholds?
Findings: The study involved 80 neonates, comparing a recommended TSB threshold and a lower threshold for phototherapy discontinuation. Results showed a 14.3% reinstitution rate of treatment, with no adverse outcomes.
Meaning: Careful posttreatment monitoring is essential when discontinuing phototherapy, and future research should consider updated guidelines like those from the American Academy of Pediatrics.
