Posted May 21, 20195 yr Just read this editorial in JAMA Peds - about screening/tx against neonatal hyperbili phototherapy and reported long-term risks (excess risk of childhood epilepsy, at least in boys) Although confounding (factor X related to both risk of phototherapy and risk of epilepsy) may well be operating, the First Do No Harm-argument is valid IMHO. Of course, highly elevated s-bili is also something that we fear. Anyone discussing/handling these questions in clinical practise and how to balance? https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/fullarticle/2733861
