There is a new free screening tool, BiliScreen.org, which helps pediatricians triage patients for followup labs and/or hepatology referral. This site incorporates the recent AAP guidelines (see below) for evaluation.

My take:

• Overall, this is a quick easy tool which should be helpful & I recommend sharing this website with pediatricians/pediatric health providers
• A potential improvement to the site would be a section with an explanation of other causes/consequences of cholestasis which could require more urgent evaluation (eg. metabolic diseases, vitamin K deficiency)
