KMC was found to be safe, effective and feasible method of care of LBWI even in the NICU settings. Positive attitudes were observed in mothers, families and HCW.
This study was conducted to determine the incidence and magnitude of post-phototherapy bilirubin rebound in neonates. Subjects included inborn neonates needing phototherapy for hyperbilirubinemia. Standard guidelines were used to start and stop phototherapy. Rebound bilirubin was measured 24+/-6 h after stopping phototherapy. Significant bilirubin rebound (SBR) was defined as post-phototherapy bilirubin level needing reinstitution of phototherapy. Among 245 neonates with hyperbilirubinemia, post-phototherapy bilirubin estimation was done in 232 neonates. A total of 17 (7.3%) neonates developed SBR. In neonates with SBR, bilirubin increased by 2.3 mg/dL (95% CI 1.6-3.0) after stopping phototherapy. Risk factors for SBR included birth at >35 weeks of gestation (RR 4.3, 95% CI 1.5-12.0), birthweight <2000 g (RR 3.2, 95% CI 1.0-10.3) and onset of jaundice at >60 h of age (RR 3.3, 95% CI 1.2-9.0). Post-phototherapy discharge and follow-up planning should take into account these risk factors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
