Abstract:This study investigated the efficacy of the Direct Antiglobulin Test (DAT) reaction grades and the severity of hyperbilirubinaemia, in order to assist with the prediction and treatment of HDN. However, a weak correlation was found in this study. DAT significance may be ambiguous and it is only when combined with clinical assessment may it aid in building a complete prognosis. This was supported from studies such as [1,2], who also believed that in isolation DAT significance is limited without other parameters … Show more
