Overview

Retrospective analysis shows high rates of hyperbilirubinemia in neonates, suggesting common causes like physiological jaundice alongside serious conditions like sepsis.

Key Points

  • Significant hyperbilirubinemia was found in 15.22% of admitted newborns, indicating a prevalent issue in this population.
  • Phototherapy was administered to all 157 neonates diagnosed with hyperbilirubinemia, effectively treating the condition without the need for exchange transfusion.
  • Common causes included physiological jaundice in over 50% of cases, along with serious contributors like sepsis and prematurity.
  • The study was based on a retrospective cross-sectional analysis of 1,031 newborns admitted over a two-year period.
