Abstract
Previously we reported a relationship between mean serum bilirubin levels (SBL) during the first five days of life and erythrocyte acid phosphatase (ACP) phenotype (ph) where the CA phenotype showed the highest mean SBL. Further data on the same series of consecutive newborns studied are reported in the table.
Variance analysis shows F values significant at 0.05 level for gestational age and mean SBL. Correlation analysis shows a correlation coefficient of 0.18 between gestational age and mean SBL. Further analysis shows that the relationship among ACP ph, gestational age and mean SBL have comparable strength. Therefore the effects of CA ph on SBL may depend on the action of the former on gestational age.
