Article Synopsis
- The study investigated various risk factors for severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (SNH) in jaundiced term neonates, focusing on maternal-fetal blood group isoimmunization, breastfeeding, and genetic variants.
- It included 1121 jaundiced neonates, out of which 232 were diagnosed with SNH, and used logistic regression to analyze the data.
- Findings revealed that delayed measurement of total serum bilirubin (TSB), age at admission, and specific genetic variants (like UGT1A1) significantly increased the risk of SNH.
