Article Synopsis
- G6PD deficiency is common in the Middle East and this study examined its impact on neonatal jaundice in Qatari newborns over a 7-year period.
- Out of 40,305 births, 1,013 newborns were identified as G6PD deficient, leading to a 2.51% incidence rate of G6PD deficiency, with nearly 25% requiring phototherapy.
- The findings highlight the need for universal screening and monitoring for G6PD deficiency to effectively manage the risk of neonatal jaundice.
