Article Synopsis
- Filtered-sunlight phototherapy (FSPT) is shown to be a safe and effective alternative to intensive electric phototherapy (IEPT) for treating neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, with no significant differences in efficacy or safety.
- In a trial with 192 newborns, both treatments showed similar rates of exchange transfusions and mortality, indicating FSPT's non-inferiority.
- Overall, FSPT could be a practical option when electric therapy is unavailable, as it successfully prevented complications and was well-tolerated among treated infants.
