Heliotherapy for neonates with severe-to-hazardous hyperbilirubinemia: a randomized controlled, non-inferiority trial

Scientific Reports
Filtered-sunlight phototherapy (FSPT) that blocks ultraviolet light and reduces infrared radiation is safe and non-inferior to intensive electric phototherapy (IEPT) for treating mild-to-severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.
