Prevalence of significant weight loss and hypernatremia in breast feeding jaundice infants readmitted to Phramongkutklao Hospital within 1 month of age.

Background: Neonatal jaundice, especially breast feeding jaundice is the most common cause of neonatal re-admission within the first month of life. Good maternal support and closed follow-up of newborn infants can promote successful breast feeding without causing any complications.

Objective: To determine the rate of significant weight loss and hypernatremia in infants with breast feeding jaundice readmitted to Phramongkutklao Hospital within 1 month of age.

Incidence of neonatal infection in newborn infants with a maternal history of premature rupture of membranes (PROM) for 18 hours or longer by using Phramongkutklao Hospital Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG).

Background: Phramongkutklao CPG was developed for detecting infants with maternal PROM > or = 18 hours who had a high risk of infection.

Objective: To determine efficacy of the CPG, and risk factors of infection.

Study Design: Prospective cohort study.
