Large interindividual variability in neonatal propofol clearance is documented which, in part, can be explained by postmenstrual age (PMA) and postnatal age (PNA). We aimed to document whether indirect bilirubin, instead of or in addition to PNA, could improve predictability of propofol clearance and serve as a useful biomarker of reduced propofol clearance in neonates.
