You may now call this calculator automatically (for example, from an Electronic Medical Record system) using its simple API.
The calculator will accept input through the URL query string. This input can be customized by your calling application (for example, by an EHR system). The URL should be constructed in this format:
http://phototherapyguidelines.com/?days=[days]&bili=[bili]&age=[age]
days: Gestational age in days. Must be between 245 and 300.
bili: Total serum bilirubin level in mg/dL. Must be between 0 and 50.
age: Age at collection in hours. Must be between 0 and 168.
For example, this is a well-formed URL:
http://phototherapyguidelines.com/?days=292&bili=11.25&age=154
This calculator is intended to provide a user-friendly interface to the NCNC guidelines. Professional judgment should be used in applying the results in clinical settings.
