Introduction: Jaundice is a frequent cause of hospitalization in neonates. The main objective was to determine the correlation between total serum bilirubin and transcutaneous bilirubin in term neonates, at the Hospital Antonio Lorena, 2016-2017. Methods: It is a descriptive, correlation, prospective and transversal study. I include full-term newborns, whose mothers completed their pregnancy at the Antonio Lorena Hospital. In the data analysis Pearson's R (normal distribution) was used for the correlations. Measurements of test performance are obtained by sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value. The data obtained were processed using the statistical software “SPSS (version 22)“. Results: The population consisted of 70 infants, of which 54% were males and 46% females, the average age was 63 hours and Kramer 3 was predominant. The Pearson correlation indexes, both for the frontal and thoracic transcutaneous take, were 0.84. The sensitivity of the transcutaneous bilirubinometer was 92% (frontal) and 100% (thoracic), while the specificity was lower in 74%. The positive predictive value was 65% (frontal) and 67% (thoracic) as opposed to the negative predictive value with 92% (frontal) and 100% (thoracic). The standard error of the bilirubinometer was +/- 1.47 (frontal) and +/- 1.37 (thoracic), in relation to serum bilirubin. Conclusions: Transcutaneous measurements have a positive correlation with serum bilirubin and detected the majority of neonates with hyperbilirubinemia, confirming its usefulness as a screening method.
