Official Title: Field Evaluation of a Point-Of-Care Test for Serum Bilirubin Levels in Infants Born in a Tropical Limited-resource Setting.
Brief Summary:
This is an observational prospective study. The main purpose is to evaluate the stability of the Bilistick system in a humid and hot climate compared to the quantitative test for serum bilirubin (SBR) measurement currently used, the BR-501 total bilirubin meter, kept in a controlled environment.
The secondary aim is to assess the operational feasibility of the Bilistick system in a tropical limited-resource setting, when used by locally trained nurses.
