Objective: The aim of this study was to determine if the Newborn Weight Loss Tool (NEWT) can predict hospital readmission due to hyperbilirubinemia.
Study Design: This is a case-control study of 93 newborns and 186 controls ≥35 weeks' gestation. All were discharged from the Mother-Baby unit of an urban academic center and subsequently readmitted for hyperbilirubinemia.
