    The study's objective is to systematize the efficacy of the transcutaneous bilirubinometer versus serum bilirubin in detecting pathological jaundice in newborns aged 35 to 42 weeks. Materials and Methods: A systematic review study with an observational and retrospective design, based on the review of ten national and international studies. Results: The systematic review of the 10 articles highlights that 50% of the reviewed publications indicate that serum bilirubin and the transcutaneous bilirubinometer are equally reliable methods for determining pathological jaundice in neonates. Conversely, the remaining 50% report that 10% support serum bilirubin as an effective method, though with some associated toxicity, while 40% suggest that the transcutaneous bilirubin method is more reliable and practical for use in hospitals worldwide to detect neonatal pathological jaundice by healthcare professionals. Conclusions: Regarding its importance in hospital applications, the transcutaneous bilirubinometer is considered the most effective method for preventive diagnosis in predicting and detecting pathological jaundice in newborns aged 35 to 42 weeks, with transcutaneous bilirubin deemed effective.
