Light Emitting Diode (LED) Phototherapy versus Conventional Phototherapy in Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia: A Single Blinded Randomized Control Trial from Coastal India

Table 2

Comparison of random urinary lumirubin levels and change scores of serum bilirubin levels between LED and conventional phototherapy (n=166).

Parameters	LED group (n=83); Mean ± SD; (Minimum-Maximum)	Conventional group (n=83); Mean ± SD; (Minimum-Maximum)	“t” value	p value
Serum bilirubin (μmol/L/hour)	5.3 ± 2.91 (0.68-15.39)	3.76 ± 2.39 (0.22-11.97)	67.72	<0.0001
Urinary lumirubin (au)	129.01 ± 33.18 (50.0-227.0)	114.44 ± 44.84 (50.0-221.00)	2.33	0.021

: p value significant at 0.05 level.
