Data for: Heme Catabolism and Bilirubin Production in Readmitted Jaundiced Newborns

We measured end-tidal carbon monoxide levels in 50 jaundiced newborns readmitted for phototherapy between ages 54 – 244 hours. The median end-tidal carbon monoxide level was 1.55 ppm suggesting that hemolysis is not the primary contributor to the hyperbilirubinemia in many readmitted newborns.本研究对50名年龄介于54至244小时、因光疗（phototherapy）再次入院的黄疸新生儿的呼气末一氧化碳（end-tidal carbon monoxide）水平进行了检测。该群体的呼气末一氧化碳中位数水平为1.55 ppm，这表明在众多再次入院的新生儿中，溶血（hemolysis）并非高胆红素血症（hyperbilirubinemia）的主要诱因。
