Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Serum bilirubin was measured on a 0.5 ml blood sample drawn from the dorsal plexus of the hand preferably, at 6:00 a.m. during the 3 days of the study. Bilirubin was measured with non-enzymatic methods using the chemical reaction that uses nitrous oxide to form a colour complex. Total serum bilirubin was determined by adding caffeine benzoate and diazo reagent in the same way as direct bilirubin. Finally, indirect bilirubin was calculated by subtracting total bilirubin minus direct bilirubin.at baseline and on the third day of treatment. | — |
