Article Synopsis
- Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is vital for producing reducing agents that protect hemoglobin, and its deficiency can lead to severe neonatal jaundice.
- The study examined G6PD levels in pre-term and term babies to assess how deficiency affects jaundice severity, finding that 37.3% of tested babies were G6PD deficient.
- Pre-term infants had a higher risk of jaundice, regardless of their G6PD status, and the study concluded that more severe jaundice in pre-term babies necessitates critical care.
