    • Equation parameters such as Clinical Risk Group have two or more discrete values that may be used in the calculation. The numbers in the parentheses, e.g. (1), represent the values that will be used.
    • This nomogram derived calculator should only be used for infants of 35 weeks geastation or greater.
    • Data extracted from the Bhutani study include 36 week infants over 2000 gms and 25 week infants over 2500 gms birth weight.
    • These nomograms should NOT be be used to predict the natural history of hyperbilirubinemia.
    • Clinical risk factors include:
      1. Isoimmune hemolytic disease or G6PD deficiency
      2. Asphyxia or lethargy
      3. Unstable temperature, sepsis or acidosis
