BiliCalc for Pc

1. Designed by a pediatrician, BiliCalc uses the American Academy of Pediatrics 2004 "Management of Hyperbilirubinemia in Infants Greater than 35 Weeks of Age" to calculate the threshold for starting phototherapy based on the patient's age, bilirubin level, and neurotoxicity risk.

2. The threshold for treatment (when a data point lies above one of the lines on the graph) of the infant is different based on the predisposing factors (divided into the three risk categories).

3. The graph is correct in having low risk on top since a higher value is needed to pass the threshold for treatment (phototherapy).

4. Babies who are "low neurotoxicity risk," can tolerate higher levels of bilirubin than a baby with medium or high risk.

5. This is different than the Bhutani Nomogram in which "risk" refers to the risk for development of severe hyperbilirubinemia.

6. The app has a direct link to source journal articles, nomograms, and a list of the neurotoxicity risk factors.

7. In addition, it will also tell you the patient's risk zone using the Bhutani Nomogram.

8. The degree of "risk" refers to the infant's risk for developing neurotoxicity.

9. Therefore, a high risk baby will be treated at lower bilirubin levels than a low risk baby.

10. Intended for use by pediatricians, neonatologists, physicians, medical students, and pediatric nurses who treat newborn infants in the hospital and as outpatients.

11. The graph is directly from the 2004 AAP Hyperbilirubinemia Guidelines.
