Overview

Retrospective study identifies predictors of jaundice in NICU admissions, indicating a need for screening and support.

Key Points

  • This study aims to identify clinical outcomes and determinants of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in NICU admissions in Ethiopia.
  • Retrospective cross-sectional study design
  • Systematic random sampling of 183 neonates from 1,350 admissions
  • Data analyzed using multivariate logistic regression
  • Prevalence of hyperbilirubinemia was 16.4% (n=30; 95% CI: 11–21.8)
  • 46.7% of jaundiced neonates had admission bilirubin levels of 15-19 mg/dL
  • Inadequate breastfeeding (AOR 9.51, p=0.030) and neonatal sepsis (AOR 3.71, p=0.012) were identified as primary predictors.
