Abstract
We identified children diagnosed with kernicterus in the California Department of Developmental Services and estimated an incidence of 0.42 per 100 000 births from 1988 to 2014, significantly decreasing to 0.04 per 100 000 births after 2009. We also examined national infant kernicterus mortality from 1979 to 2016 using CDC data. It did not decrease significantly.
