Nine guidelines covered risk factors for severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, including maternal and neonatal risk factors. All guidance documents provided recommendations for diagnosis. Tables 5 and 6 show the main risk factors and some example diagnostic strategies for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.
Bases follow-up testing on the difference between bilirubin level and the phototherapy threshold. No more risk zones! Raises thresholds for phototherapy and exchange transfusion. Includes gestational age and risk factors for neurotoxicity in the thresholds.
For neonates born at ≥ 35 weeks gestation, phototherapy is an option when unconjugated bilirubin is > 12 mg/dL (> 205.2 micromol/L) and may be indicated when unconjugated bilirubin is > 15 mg/dL (257 micromol/L) at 25 to 48 hours, 18 mg/dL (308 micromol/L) at 49 to 72 hours, and 20 mg/dL (342 micromol/L) at > 72 hours (see Figure: Risk of ...
6 lis 2019 · Neonatal jaundice is a clinical manifestation of elevated total serum bilirubin (TSB), termed neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, which results from bilirubin that is deposited into an infant's skin. The characteristic features of neonatal jaundice include yellowish skin, sclerae, and mucous membranes.
27 cze 2018 · Neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia is attributable to a metabolic imbalance favouring bilirubin production over hepatic-enteric bilirubin clearance. The condition affects 60% to 80% of newborn babies, and is a leading cause of hospitalisation in the first week of life. •.
3 maj 2021 · Severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (SNH) is a serious condition that occurs worldwide. Timely recognition with bilirubin determination is key in the management of SNH. Visual assessment of...
31 paź 2023 · This guideline covers diagnosing and treating jaundice, which is caused by increased levels of bilirubin in the blood, in newborn babies (neonates). It aims to help detect or prevent very high levels of bilirubin, which can be harmful if not treated.
