Summary
This study looks at whether a standard device used to check for jaundice in newborns gives accurate results for babies with different skin colors. Jaundice causes yellowing of the skin and can be dangerous if not treated. The device measures bilirubin through the skin, but dark skin may interfere with the reading. Researchers will compare the device's results with blood tests in 510 newborns to see if skin color affects accuracy.
