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 split into three groups: one with foil reflectors, one with white cloth reflectors, and one with standard care. The goal was to see if these simple, low-cost additions could shorten treatment time and reduce side effects.
