Table 1 Meta-regression summary comparing bilirubin/albumin ratio and total serum bilirubin in predicting bilirubin-induced neurologic dysfunction
| Predictor | Standardized mean difference | 95%CI | P value | Interpretation |
| B/A ratio (reference) | 1.71 | 1.00-2.41 | < 0.0001 | Strong, significant predictor of bilirubin-induced neurologic dysfunction |
| Total serum bilirubin (vs B/A) | -0.02 | -1.02 to 0.98 | 0.9628 | No significant difference from B/A ratio |
