Therapeutic efficacy of intermittent versus continuous phototherapy in term neonates with hyperbilirubinemia: A randomized controlled trial.

Baseline characteristics were comparable (all p > 0.05).

Mean baseline TSB was similar (16.07 ± 2.67 vs 15.46 ± 3.04 mg/dL; p = 0.190).

Unadjusted bilirubin reduction at 12 h and 24 h did not differ significantly.

After adjustment, TSB at 12 h was comparable ( p = 0.418), but higher in the continuous group at 24 h (mean difference 0.68 mg/dL; p < 0.001).
