Abstract
Estherline J. Thoby is associated with research in pediatric medicine and neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. Her listed 2026 publication examines pediatricians’ practice patterns concerning the revised 2022 neonatal hyperbilirubinemia guidelines. This topic is relevant to understanding how clinical recommendations are interpreted and applied in pediatric settings. The supplied Scopus profile reports four documents, 26 citations and an h-index of 2. These figures provide a limited bibliometric snapshot rather than a complete evaluation of clinical relevance, methodological quality or research contribution. [1]
Keywords
Estherline Thoby; neonatal hyperbilirubinemia; pediatric practice; clinical guidelines; neonatal jaundice; evidence-based medicine; pediatricians; medicine and health sciences; research impact.
Introduction
Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is a common clinical concern involving elevated bilirubin levels in newborns. Clinical guidelines support decisions about risk assessment, monitoring and treatment. Examining pediatricians’ practice patterns can help describe the relationship between published recommendations and real-world clinical approaches. The 2022 revised guidance provides the context for the publication attributed to Thoby and co-authors. The available citation information identifies a relevant research topic, but detailed findings should be drawn from the full article rather than inferred from its title. [2]
Research Profile
The supplied institutional affiliation is Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in the United States. The profile identifies medicine and health sciences as the subject area. The reported bibliometric indicators are four documents, 26 citations and an h-index of 2. These metrics describe indexed scholarly output and citation activity as supplied; they may change as databases are updated. The information provided does not independently verify employment dates, authorship contributions or the completeness of the publication record.
Research Contributions
The identified research topic concerns the implementation of revised neonatal hyperbilirubinemia guidance in pediatric practice. Research on practice patterns can help characterize clinicians’ familiarity with recommendations and identify areas for further education or investigation. However, specific conclusions about adherence, treatment choices or patient outcomes cannot be established from the citation metadata alone. Assessment of these contributions requires the full publication, including its methods, results and limitations.
Publications
The supplied publication record is:
- Pediatricians’ Practice Patterns on the Revised 2022 Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia Guidelines. Authors listed: E. J. Thoby, A. A. Lariviere, K. A. Briski and A. Petrova. Pediatric Reports, 2026. The supplied record reports zero citations for this individual article at the time of the provided snapshot.
A DOI and direct full-text URL were not supplied and are therefore not asserted here. The publication title and author details should be checked against the journal’s official record before formal bibliographic reuse.
Research Impact
The supplied Scopus figures indicate a modest indexed publication record with measurable citation activity. Citation counts and h-index can support comparisons when interpreted alongside career stage, specialty, authorship role and publication context. They do not independently measure clinical influence, originality or patient benefit. Because the identified 2026 article is reported with zero citations, its potential influence should be assessed over time and through substantive review of its findings.
Award Suitability
The Innovative Research Award profile for the Global Innovation Technologist Awards provides a framework for presenting the researcher’s subject area, publication activity and research interests. Relevant considerations for a formal award evaluation include:
- Relevance and originality of the research question.
- Methodological quality and transparency of reported findings.
- Potential contribution to pediatric practice and evidence-based care.
- Verified publication records and independently documented research outcomes.
These considerations are evaluation criteria, not confirmation that an award has been granted. A final determination requires the event’s official assessment process and supporting evidence.
Conclusion
Estherline Thoby’s listed work addresses a clinically relevant topic in neonatal and pediatric medicine. The available profile provides basic bibliometric information and a 2026 publication reference, while leaving the article’s detailed findings and broader clinical implications to be verified from primary sources. This page serves as a neutral academic recognition profile, not an independent validation of research quality or an announcement of award selection.
