Abstract
<p class="first" id="d11942575e174">Kernicterus resulting from severe neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia
is a leading cause
of preventable deaths and disabilities in low-income and middle-income countries,
partly because high-quality intensive phototherapy is unavailable. Previously, we
showed that filtered-sunlight phototherapy (FSPT) was efficacious and safe for treatment
of mild-to-moderate neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia. We aimed to extend these studies
to infants with moderate-to-severe hyperbilirubinaemia.
