Transcutaneous bilirubin monitoring predicts unexplained late-onset hemolysis in a very low birthweight infant

Background In term infants, transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) monitoring can be used to predict hemolytic hyperbilirubinemia. However, it is not clear whether the technique can also be used to predict unexplained late-onset hemolysis in very low birthweight (VLBW) infants.
