Bf and TSB responded differently. While TSB and Bf correlated well before phototherapy, they did not correlate during phototherapy. TSB showed a trend toward a reduction with treatment, Bf did not. While TSB ROR information is not helpful, ROR Bf data can be utilized to anticipate treatment. Potentially high Bf levels existed before and after phototherapy and the mean Bf level at phototherapy termination remained elevated in a significant proportion of infants.
