To describe primary care management of early and prolonged jaundice in otherwise healthy term infants to identify opportunities to increase early diagnosis of cholestasis. Community-based pediatricians in St Louis, MO completed a mailed, anonymous 29-item survey to assess practice demographics, timing of routine newborn office visits and management of early and prolonged neonatal jaundice. 108/230 (47%) of eligible physicians responded (mean years in practice, 15.3, SD, 9.4). More respondents were very familiar with national guidelines for management of early (49%) than prolonged (16%) neonatal jaundice. Eighty six percent reported all newborns were checked with transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) before hospital discharge. For TcB results at 48 hours of 7, 10, 12 and 15mg/dL, 1%, 25%, 69% and 73% of respondents respectively would order a fractionated bilirubin. While the first routine visit usually occurred in the first week after discharge, 25% of physicians reported the 2nd visit was routinely scheduled after 4 weeks of age. Ninety-two percent reported they would obtain a fractionated bilirubin for infants jaundiced beyond 4 weeks of age. If cholestasis was identified at 6 weeks of age, 32% would obtain additional testing without referral to a subspecialist. Management of early and prolonged neonatal jaundice is variable. Current practices appear to miss opportunities for early diagnosis of cholestasis and referral that are unlikely to be addressed without redesigning systems of care.
