Background: Indirect hyperbilirubinemia is one of the most common causes hospitalization in neonatal period and its potential association with brain damage well established. This study was conducted to determine neurodevelopmental outcome children who had severe indirect received intensive phototherapy or without double volume exchange transfusion for management.

One aim of laboratory investigation in neonatal jaundice is to prevent kernicterus from occurring. Estimation of the bilirubin-binding capacity of serum is an important measurement along with total bilirubin determination. With a convenient Sephadex competitive binding procedure, KERNLUTE provides information on whether or not the neonate's bilirubin-binding capacity has been exceeded. Further ...

hyperbilirubinaemia The study by Keren and colleagues is a retrospective study, using infants in whom preand post-discharge TSB has been carried out, hence causing an inherent bias towards the same group. The data for clinical risk have been collected from documents such as admission, intrapartum, and discharge forms. This retrospective collection can result in missing or ambiguous data, as has...
