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.
18 sty 2021 · 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. The guidelines differed somewhat in their ...
1 gru 2020 · In this report, we present an hour-specific bilirubin nomogram based on first predischarge serum bilirubin of 397 395 newborn infants, including analysis of the effect of sex, gestational age, and race.
jaundice affects up to 84% of term newborns1 and is the most common cause of hos-pital readmission in the neona-tal period.2 Severe hyperbilirubinemia (total serum bilirubin [TSB] level of more than 20 mg per dL [342.1 μmol per L]) occurs in less than 2% of term infants and can lead to kernicterus (i.e., chronic bilirubin encephalopathy) and per...
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.
4 maj 2021 · Invasive bilirubin measurements remain the gold standard for the diagnosis and treatment of infants with severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. The present paper describes different methods...
