OBJECTIVE: Apnea of prematurity (AoP) is, in part, a reflection of brainstem-mediated
respiratory control system maturation. We previously demonstrated changes in brainstem …

Central apnea, defined as cessation of breathing for≥ 20 s, is frequent in premature infants
born at< 34 weeks׳ gestation but uncommon among healthy late preterm (34 0/7–36 6/7 …

Objective To evaluate whether jaundice, indexed by unbound bilirubin (UB), is associated
with central apnea in premature infants. Study design A prospective observational study was …

Introduction: The aim of this study is to clarify bilirubin parameters and its treatment in
preterm infants with bilirubin encephalopathy (pBE). Methods: We asked the responders to …

Most preterm infants less than 35 weeks gestational age (GA) have elevated total
serum/plasma bilirubin (TB) levels, which often present as jaundice, the yellowish …

Objectives To examine the clinical characteristics of bilirubin encephalopathy in preterm
infants (pBE) in Japan. Methods We performed a two-step nationwide questionnaire survey …

Objective: To describe and compare infants with severe hyperbilirubinemia, who presented
with and without abnormal neurological findings and to identify associated risk factors. Study …

Hyperbilirubinemia is the most common clinical condition requiring evaluation and treatment
in the newborn [1] and the most common cause for hospital readmission during the first …

Objectives. To determine the usefulness of the bilirubin-albumin (B: A) molar ratio (MR) and
unbound bilirubin (UB) as compared with serum total bilirubin (TB) in predicting bilirubin …

Background Whether hyperbilirubinemia suppresses electrophysiological activity of the
neonatal auditory brainstem remains to be investigated. Aim To determine whether …
