Predischarge TcB at 48-54 hours of life was classified into 3 levels 5) was 4.53 (95% CI 2.91-7.04) with specificity of 87.1%. The negative predictive value of low-risk group (score less then 3) was 81%. CONCLUSIONS A simple predischarge prediction score using gestational age and TcB values at 48-54 hours of life was developed. This score classified late preterm and term newborn infants into 3 distinct risk levels and may be useful to identify high-risk infants for outpatient follow-up of subsequent severe hyperbilirubinemia.
