Receiver operator characteristic curve for transcutaneous bilirubin to detect hepatic dysfunction (serum bilirubin ≥ 2 mg/dl). Subjects underwent paired serumtranscutaneous bilirubin measurements as described and ROC curves were constructed for each location. Area under the curve (AUC) from forehead (0.971) and sternum (0.970) were statistically different compared to the AUC from forearm (0.893) and deltoid (0.935) (p< 0.03) (MedCalc).
