Prediction of severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia using cord blood hydrogen peroxide: a prospective study.

<h4>Background</h4>We hypothesized that cord blood hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) could be utilized to predict the severity of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.<h4>Methods</h4>We prospectively enrolled term or near-term healthy neonates. Cord blood and capillary blood at three days of a...
