Although neonatal jaundice is common, acute bilirubin encephalopathy and kernicterus (ie,
chronic bilirubin encephalopathy) are rare. Universal screening for neonatal …

More than 60% of newborns appear clinically jaun-diced in the first few weeks of life, 1 most
often due to physiologic jaundice. Mild hyperbilirubinemia peaks at Days 3 to 5 and returns …

Background Neonatal jaundice may cause severe neurological damage if poorly evaluated
and diagnosed when high bilirubin occurs. The study explored how to effectively integrate …

METHODS: We studied 148 162 infants born at≥ 35 weeks' gestation at 11 Kaiser
Permanente Northern California facilities from 2012 to 2017 whose TSB did not exceed …

Although the modern era of transcutaneous bilirubin monitoring (TcB) began only about 35
years ago, this screening tool is now widely used in newborn nurseries and outpatient …

Background Delaying cord clamping (CC) for 3‐5 minutes reduces iron deficiency and
improves neurodevelopment. Data on the effects of CC beyond 3 minutes in relation to short …

Aim Our aim was to investigate the effects of timing of cord clamping on the risk of
hyperbilirubinaemia. Methods We recruited 540 normal vaginal deliveries at the Paropakar …

Background Late preterm and early term births account for~ 25% of live births. Infants born
prior to term are at significantly higher risk for subsequent morbidity and mortality. Aims …

Objectives: To assess the correlation between total serum bilirubin (TSB) and
transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) values in Malawian newborn infants, and to investigate …

Identifying infants that will develop significant hyperbilirubinemia with the risk of kernicterus,
and planning appropriate follow-up strategies, is particularly challenging. In this study …
