Follow-up of neonatal jaundice in term and late premature newborns

Abstract

Our results suggest that the regime adopted is effective for detecting and preventing hyperbilirubinemia at risk of causing bilirubin-induced encephalopathy in term and near term newborn infants.

Clinical and genetic risk factors for moderate hyperbilirubinemia in Brazilian newborn infants

“…15 When TcBX14.0 mg per 100 ml, plasma total bilirubinemia (PTB) was measured by the bilirubinometer Unistat-Leica (Leica, Buffalo, NY, USA) during neonatal screening. Mean values of two PTB measurements were used.…”

The Effect of Probiotics on Reducing Hospitalization Duration in Infants With Hyperbilirubinemia

“…Hyperbilirubinemia is the most common cause of hospitalization in infancy. Physiological icterus is a common cause of infantile hyperbilirubinemia which is diagnosed by ruling out other important etiologies such as hemolysis, infections, and metabolic disorders (1)(2)(3). Hyperbilirubinemia is the most common cause of readmission in early infancy (4,5).…”

Umbilical Cord Bilirubin Levels as a Predictor of Subsequent Development of Clinically Significant Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia

“…The concept of predicting the chances of development of clinically significant hyperbilirubinemia is a very attractive preposition for pediatricians working in busy neonatology units as it can differentiate between low risk neonates who can safely be discharged from hospital and high risk patients who either need delayed discharge or a close follow up [7] .…”
