Effect of Conventional and LED Phototherapy on the Antioxidant-Oxidant Status in Preterm Neonates with Jaundice.

Objective: To compare oxidative stress due to conventional and LED phototherapy among jaundiced preterm neonates.

Methods: Cross-sectional study conducted in NICU on 82 neonates (equal numbers received conventional and LED phototherapy). Total antioxidant capacity (TAC), total oxidant status (TOS) and Oxidative stress index (OSI) were assessed.
