Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated two different durations of continuous phototherapy (24 hours vs. 18 hours) for jaundiced newborns without hyperbilirubinemia neurotoxicity risks to find an effective treatment protocol without constant bilirubin monitoring.
- Results showed that while the 24-hour treatment led to a greater overall decline in total serum bilirubin (TSB) levels, the 18-hour treatment demonstrated a faster rate of TSB reduction per hour.
- The findings suggest that an 18-hour phototherapy course may be more effective for these newborns, as it reaches optimal outcomes by the 18th hour without need for continuous TSB measurement.
Objective: To compare the course of the transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) values of early-term newborns with those of term newborns in the first month of life and to investigate whether early-term newborns have an increased risk of significant hyperbilirubinemia requiring treatment.
Design: A prospective, controlled cohort analysis.
Setting: A tertiary level mother-child birth and health care center.
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessively inherited disorder characterized by recurrent fever and attacks of abdominal pain, chest pain, and joint pain. Attacks of recurrent fever and serositis are encountered clinically. Attacks may present either with only one symptom or many simultaneous symptoms.
