The study has been done on 56 jaundice neonates in Tabriz children hospital to determine validity (sensitivity, Specificity, Predictability) and the estimation of the severity of hyperbilirubinemia through the neonates skin with icter. The results showed: Sensitivity of the method is 85% and its specificity is between 60-100%. It means that whenever icter reaches to plantar area in 85% cases; its level is more than 20mgldl; otherwise there is no hazard emerged from the bilirubin of more than 20mgldl in 60-100% cases.
