ABSTRACT

Introduction: the neonatal jaundice is one of the more frequent syndromes of the neonatology. Treatment to icteric newborn has had historically different guidelines for its decisions.
Objective: to establish a comparison among the diagnostic methods of the visual scale and the dosing in blood of the total bilirubin in newborns.
Methods: a cross-sectional, descriptive and observational research was conducted in the Gynecology Obstetrics Teaching Hospital of Guanabacoa municipality from January to July, 2008. Sample included 86 newborns.
Results: the great number of newborns was the term ones and those with a normal weight. There was predominance of the IV zone of the Kramer's visual scale. The great figure of cases had values of serum bilirubin between 10-12 mg/dL.
Conclusions: there was a relation between both methods of assessment of the neonatal jaundice.
