Objective: Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is a short-lasting benign condition that affects approximately 60% of infants born at term infants. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of antenatal corticosteroid (ACS) exposure on the rate of hyperbilirubinemia in term newborns.
Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at the Health Sciences University Kayseri Education and Research Hospital, Turkey from June 2017 to June 2018. A total of 6254 pregnant participants aged between 18 and 35 years with a singleton pregnancy were included in the study. The study group included 354 women with low-risk pregnancies (no perinatal risk except threatened preterm labor) who received ACS treatment and were hospitalized because of the threat of preterm labor before the 34 gestational week but delivered after 37 weeks of gestation. The control group was composed of 5900 women with low-risk pregnancies who did not receive ACS treatment throughout their pregnancy and delivered after 37 weeks of gestation.
Results: Maternal age, mean body mass index, gestational week at delivery, nulliparity, previous cesarean history, sex of the baby, fetal weight, labor induction, vaginal delivery, and five minutes. Apgar score were similar in both groups. The neonatal hyperbilirubinemia rate was 20/354 (5.6%) in the ACS treatment group and 564/5900 (9.6%) in the control group.
Conclusions: The neonatal hyperbilirubinemia was significantly decreased in term-born babies exposed to ACS before 34 weeks.

Background: Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (NH) is a common phenomenon for neonate inpatients, and Yinzhihuang (YZH) injection is a well-known Chinese herbal formula for the treatment of NH. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of YZH injection on NH.
Methods: A comprehensive literature search was performed in four Chinese databases [China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chinese Biomedical Literature (CBM), China Science Journal Database (VIP), and Wan Fang ] and four English language databases (PubMed, Web of Science, EMbase and the Cochrane Library) from inception to 16 April 2024.

Background: This study conducted a comparative analysis among newborns with varying levels of hyperbilirubinemia, explored the relationships between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) image features and serum bilirubin levels in hyperbilirubinemia, and proposed an automatic classification system based on deep learning (DL) for prediction of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (NHB).
Methods: This retrospective study enrolled 606 consecutive neonates who had their serum bilirubin detected at the Xi'an Fourth Hospital, including 273 cases of patients and 333 cases of normal controls. After data preprocessing, MRI images were fed into the Inception-v3 network, graph convolutional network (GCN), and 3-dimensional (3D) patch-based GCN that introduced the graph attention mechanism (our GCN) for NHB analysis and classification, respectively.

Background: This study aimed to explore variations in prenatal care, delivery methods, influencing factors, and neonatal outcomes among Rh-negative pregnant women, so as to improve pregnancy healthcare for this demographic, raise the quality of maternal-fetal management, and safeguard the health of both mother and infant.
Methods: This study included 200 women who received routine prenatal care, exhibited no other pregnancy complications, and were admitted for delivery. They were divided into an observation group (100 Rh-negative blood type) and a control group (100 Rh-positive blood type).

Objective: The objective was to explore the characteristics of risk factors in children with cerebral palsy (CP), focusing on the effects of single risk factors and the number of risk factors on the classification, GMFCS level, and comorbidities of children with CP.
Methods: The medical records of children with CP hospitalized from 2015 to 2023 were reviewed. The effects of nine risk factors, such as hyperbilirubinemia, asphyxia, and HIE, on the classification, GMFCS level and comorbidities of children with CP were studied.

Objectives: Nearly 80 % of severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia cases are identified too late for medical treatment in lower-middle-income countries. Parents' understanding of neonatal jaundice is crucial for early detection and effective treatment. This study evaluated the effectiveness of prenatal sensitization in improving maternal knowledge and attitude toward neonatal hyperbilirubinemia management in Bangladesh.
