New study to check if jaundice device misses Darker-Skinned babies

NCT ID NCT07315126

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study will check if a standard jaundice test (a light meter on the skin) works equally well for newborns of all skin colors. About 510 babies will have their skin color classified and their jaundice levels measured both with the meter and a blood test. The goal is to see if the meter is less accurate for babies with darker skin, which could lead to missed cases of dangerous jaundice.
