This is the American Academy of Pediatrics revised clinical practice guideline on the management of hyperbilirubinaemia in newborn infants born at 35 or more weeks' gestation. It updates the earlier 2004 guidance and addresses the prevention, risk assessment, monitoring and treatment of neonatal jaundice.
