Occurs in 50% to 70% of term neonates. Most cases . A neonate refers to an infant in the first 28 days of life.This topic focuses on recognising and managing early neonatal jaundice, which is most commonly caused by unconjugated hyperbilirubinaemia. While prolonged jaundice with conjugated hyperbilirubinaemia may present during this period, appropriate management depends on the pathological cause and detailed commentary is beyond the scope

National medical protocol - Measurement and monitoring of total serum bilirubin in a newborn with signs suggestive of neonatal jaundice July 2023 INESSS | Québec national medical protocol – Neonatal jaundice 1 Measurement and monitoring of total serum bilirubin in a newborn with signs suggestive of neonatal jaundice No. 888036 Developed in collaboration with an advisory committee consisting for developing severe hyperbilirubinemia, and to document the information needed to monitor neonatal jaundice. 1.1 Signs and symptoms Examine the naked newborn in a well-lit area. Look for noticeable jaundice, which is characterized by at least one of the following signs: Yellowing of the skin in a newborn with a light skin tonePale or whitish skin in a newborn with a dark skin toneYellowing

Delivery of a post-natal neonatal jaundice education intervention improves knowledge among mothers at Jinja Regional Referral Hospital in Uganda. Neonatal jaundice (NNJ) is a major contributor to childhood morbidity and mortality. As many infants are discharged by 24 hours of age, mothers are key in detecting severe forms of jaundice. Mothers with limited knowledge of NNJ have a hard time

Validity of BiliDx as a point-of-care bilirubin measurement device to diagnose and monitor neonatal jaundice at Muhimbili National Hospital, an observational study. Neonatal jaundice is a condition caused by elevated levels of bilirubin in the bloodstream. Laboratory determination of serum bilirubin concentration by total serum bilirubin (TSB) test is still considered as gold standard for clinical guidance and practice. In developed countries, diagnosis of neonatal jaundice is shifting towards point-of-care medical devices. BiliDx is a device developed to allow a fast, blood-based determination of bilirubin levels at the point of care. This study aimed to determine the accuracy of the BiliDx device relative to a standard laboratory total serum bilirubin to diagnose and monitor jaundice

of developing newborn jaundice. Close monitoring of high-risk mother-infant pairs during the antenatal and postnatal periods, along with early intervention, is crucial for reducing the severity of neonatal jaundice in this study setting. Factors associated with neonatal jaundice among neonates admitted at referral hospitals in northeast Ethiopia: a facility-based unmatched case-control study. Neonatal jaundice is a significant contributor to illness and death in newborns, leading to frequent admissions to neonatal intensive care units. To better understand this issue, a study was conducted to identify the factors contributing

Continuous versus intermittent phototherapy in treatment of neonatal jaundice: a randomized controlled trial. Phototherapy (PT) is a widely used treatment for neonatal jaundice, yet the ideal model of application remains controversial. In this study, the effects of continuous phototherapy (CPT) and intermittent phototherapy (IPT) models were compared in the treatment of neonatal indirect in neonatal jaundice. gov Identifier: NCT06386731 (registered retrospectively on 23/04/2024) What is Known: • PT is common used in the treatment of neonatal jaundice. • There is no standard model of application for PT. • The IPT model is as effective as CPT. • Newborns are discharged faster with IPT.

Neonatal jaundice incidence, risk factors and outcomes in 54 referral-level facilities in Nigeria. To determine the incidence, risk factors and outcomes of babies with neonatal jaundice in a network of referral-level hospitals in Nigeria. A cross-sectional analysis of perinatal data collected over a 1-year period. Fifty-four referral-level hospitals (48 public and 6 private) across the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria. A total of 77 026 babies born at or admitted to the participating facilities (67 697 hospital live births; plus 9329 out-born babies), with information on jaundice between 1 September 2019 and 31 August 2020. Data were extracted and analysed to calculate incidence and sociodemographic and clinical risk factors for neonatal jaundice. Incidence and risk factors of neonatal

Neonatal jaundice detection in low-resource Mexican settings: possibilities and barriers for innovation with mobile health. Neonatal jaundice is a common condition that can lead to brain damage and disabilities when severe cases go undetected. Low- and middle-income countries often lack accurate methods for detecting neonatal jaundice and rely on visual assessment, resulting in a higher by exploring the current process of neonatal jaundice detection and stakeholders' perspectives in that context. Qualitative data collection techniques, including one focus group, 15 semi-structured interviews and four observations, were employed in urban and rural health facilities in Oaxaca, Mexico. The participants included medical doctors, nurses and health administrators. The data were analysed

Evaluation of efficacy of oral calcium phosphate as an adjunct to standard-of-care regular phototherapy in cases of neonatal jaundice: a hospital-based double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial. Neonatal jaundice is the most common cause of neonatal morbidity and rehospitalisation in the first week of life, affecting approximately 60% of term and 80% of preterm neonates, with 10 phototherapy duration, improving bilirubin decline rate and lowering rebound hyperbilirubinaemia incidence. This double-blind, placebo-controlled randomised controlled trial with a 1:1 allocation ratio was conducted in the neonatal intensive care unit of a tertiary care hospital in Eastern India. The investigator and the analyst were blinded to the treatment assignments. Eligible neonates with neonatal

Development and Validation of a Smartphone Application for Neonatal Jaundice Screening. This diagnostic study describes the merger of domain knowledge (Kramer principle of dermal advancement of icterus) with current machine learning (ML) techniques to create a novel tool for screening of neonatal jaundice (NNJ), which affects 60% of term and 80% of preterm infants. This study aimed to develop

Study on the value of KMC combined with blue light irradiation in improving the therapeutic effect of neonatal jaundice. Neonatal jaundice is a common problem that affects newborns. We aim to investigate the effect of Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) combined with blue-light irradiation on enhancing the therapeutic effect in the treatment of neonatal jaundice. From May 2020 to August 2022, 89 neonates nursing satisfaction ( < 0.05). KMC can effectively improve the efficacy of blue light irradiation in the treatment of neonatal jaundice, and promote the healthy development of newborns and the efficiency of maternal breastfeeding.

Neonatal Jaundice: Knowledge and Practices of Healthcare Providers and Trainees in Southwest Nigeria. Severe neonatal jaundice (SNNJ) is a leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Risk mitigation and management modalities for SNNJ have led to a marked reduction in complications in high-income countries but not in LMICs likely in part due
