      ab: Objective:Evaluate the efficacy of phototherapy (PT) devices and the outcomes of extremely premature infants treated with those devices.Study Design:This substudy of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Neonatal Research Network PT trial included 1404 infants treated with a single type of PT device during the first 24±12 h of treatment. The absolute (primary outcome) and relative decrease in total serum bilirubin (TSB) and other measures were evaluated. For infants treated with one PT type during the 2-week intervention period (n=1223), adjusted outcomes at discharge and 18 to 22 months corrected age were determined.Result:In the first 24 h, the adjusted absolute (mean (±s.d.)) and relative (%) decrease in TSB (mg dl−1) were: light-emitting diodes (LEDs) −2.2 (±3), −22%; Spotlights −1.7 (±2), −19%; Banks −1.3 (±3), −8%; Blankets −0.8 (±3), −1%; (P<0.0002). Some findings at 18 to 22 months differed between groups.Conclusion:LEDs achieved the greatest initial absolute reduction in TSB but were similar to Spots in the other performance measures. Long-term effects of PT devices in extremely premature infants deserve rigorous evaluation.
