Summary

This study tested whether adding reflective materials like aluminum foil or white cloth around babies during light therapy for jaundice helps lower bilirubin faster. 81 newborns with mild jaundice were randomly assigned to standard therapy, therapy with white cloth reflectors, or therapy with aluminum foil reflectors. The goal was to see which method shortens treatment time and reduces side effects.
