Conventional intensive versus LED intensive phototherapy oxidative stress burden in neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia of haemolytic origin.

CONCLUSION: Both intensive conventional and LED phototherapy are equally effective in decreasing TSB, but intensive LED phototherapy is safer than intensive conventional phototherapy with regard to oxidative stress and oxidant/antioxidant imbalance. ABBREVIATIONS: DSB: direct serum bilirubin; G6PD: glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase enzyme; LED: light-emitting diode; OSI: oxidative stress index; TAC: total antioxidant capacity; TOS: total oxidative stresses; TSB: total serum bilirubin.
