ABSTRACT

The American Academy of Pediatrics updated the guidelines for the management of hyperbilirubinemia in the newborn infants with a gestational age of ≥35 weeks in September 2022. Based on the evidence over the past 18 years, the guidelines are updated from the aspects of the prevention, risk assessment, intervention, and follow-up of hyperbilirubinemia in the newborn infants with a gestational age of ≥35 weeks. This article gives an interpretation of the key points in the guidelines, so as to safely reduce the risk of bilirubin encephalopathy and unnecessary intervention.

ABSTRACT

Clofibrate is an effective anti lipid agent that induces glucuronyltransferase could increase bilirubin conjugation. The aim of this study was to evaluate effect of clofibrate on neonatal physiologic jaundice. Randomized clinical trial sampling method used and 60 healthy term neonates which were admitted in Imam Reza Hospital of Kermanshah-Iran because of indirect hyperbilirubinemia enrolled into the study. 30 neonates [case group] were treated with single oral dose of clofibrate [100/mg] plus phototherapy and 30 neonates [control group] received only phototherapy. Serum total and direct bilirubin levels were measured at admission, 12 hours later, and then every 24 hours until 96 hours. There were no significant difference between two groups regarding to gender, age, weight and total serum bilirubin level at the admission. Mean values for total bilirubin of serum in case group 12, 24 and 48 hours after admission were significantly lower than control group [P<0.001]. The mean of needed time for phototherapy in case group was significantly less than the control group [P<0.00l]. It seems that clofibrate plus phototherapy is effective for treatment of neonatal physiologic jaundice in healthy term newborns, although further studies are necessary for evaluation of clofibrate safety as a routine treatments

ABSTRACT

Objective. To provide normative data for transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) measurements in healthy term and late-preterm Indian neonates during first 72 h of age using a multiwavelength reflectance transcutaneous bilimeter. Methods. TcB measurements were performed in healthy neonates (gestation 35 wk), in a well-baby ward, using a multiwavelength transcutaneous bilimeter (BiliCheck®, SpectRx Inc, Norcross, GA). Age-specific percentiles values for each 6- h epoch starting at 0 h of age were calculated and an age-specific TcB nomogram was developed using different percentile values. Diagnostic ability of each percentile curve for prediction of hyperbilirubinemia, defined as requirement of phototherapy, was calculated. Results. We performed 925 TcB measurements on 625 healthy newborn infants (gestation: 35 to 41 wk; age: 0 to 72 h; mean birth weight: 2808±437 g). TcB increased in a linear manner with maximum rate of rise observed during first 24 h of age (50th percentile: 0.22 mg/dL/h). 50th percentile curve of age-specific TcB nomogram had high negative predictive value (99.8%) and acceptable positive predictive value (16.4%) for prediction of hyperbilirubinemia. Conclusion: We provided age-specific nomogram of TcB for first 72 h of age in healthy term and late-preterm Indian neonates. Percentile curves and rate of rise in TcB may help in identification of neonates at low-risk of development of hyperbilirubinemia facilitating their safer discharge from the hospital. Diagnostic utility of this nomogram for predicting hyperbilirubinemia needs to be tested in a separate validation cohort.

ABSTRACT

Diagnosis and treatment of neonatal hypothyroidism is of prime importance. The aim of this study was to compare thyroid hormones levels before and after exchange transfusion in neonates with indirect hyperbilirubinemia admitted to Quds children hospital, Qazvin, Iran. This study was performed on 20 neonates with indirect hyperbilirubinemia chosen as candidates for exchange transfusion. The neonates were full term and over 37 gestational weeks. Thyroid hormones levels of neonates and blood bags were measured using ELISA method. In neonates, the thyroid hormones concentrations were measured at 3 different times: before, immediately after, and also 3 days after exchange transfusion. The results were analysed by test. The data showed that the mean concentrations of T4 and TSH in neonates' blood were higher than in blood bags [P<0.05]. There was a decrease in T4 and TSH values in samples taken immediately after exchange transfusion, although returned to values before exchange after 3 days. There was no statistically significant difference between mean concentrations of T4 and TSH in neonates' blood collected in the periods before and 3 days after exchange transfusion. The data found in our study showed that there was a return to normal values of T4 and TSH in neonates 3 days after exchange transfusion. Thus the screening of neonates for hypothyroidism could be performed at this time

ABSTRACT

Jaundice is observed during the first week of life in approximately 60% of term infant and 80% of preterm infant. The risk of hyperbilirubinemia is related to the development of kernicterus [bilirubin encephalopathy], hearing loss, spasticity, and convulsion at high serum bilirubin levels. For treatment of neonatal jaundice is recommended that phototherapy and if unsuccessful, exchange transfusion is used to keep the maximum total serum bilirubin below levels at which risk of injury to the CNS occurrs. In Iranian traditional medicine, the manna from Cotoneaster spp. [Shir-e-Khesht] are being commonly used in the treatment of neonatal jaundice. It is also the purpose of this study to design the formulation of drop with exact dose. Shir-e-Khesht with browse of Cotoneaster discolor pojark were prepared from south of Khorassan [a province in east of Iran]. Drop was prepared from total extract of this manna and, then the quantitative and qualitative controls and microbial tests were accomplished on it and were administrated to jaundice newborn. 100 babies [case group] received Shir-e-Khesht drop and phototherapy, and the 100 others [control group] were also given placebo drop with phototherapy. [Dosage: 5 droplets, TID]. On case group the time required to reduce the serum bilirubin level to 10 mg/dl was significantly shorter than control group [p < 0.00001]. The drop in addition to phototherapy was recommended in treatment of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia

ABSTRACT

Con el objetivo de comprobar la mayor efectividad de la fototerapia con luz azul en comparación con la luz blanca en el tratamiento de la hiperbilirrubinemía neonatal, se estudiaron 40 recién nacidos en el Departamento de Pediatría del Hospital Central "Dr. Antonio María Pineda", Barquisimeto, Venezuela. Se distribuyeron en 2 grupos: a) Recién nacido tratados con luz azul; b) Recién nacidos con luz blanca. Todos comparables entre sí. El 95 por ciento de los neonatos resultó a término, con peso adecuado en 65 por ciento de ellos. No se encontró diferencias entre los dos grupos, ya que la respuesta a la fototerapia fue similar en ambos. El nivel medio de bilirrubina fue de 14,1 mg/dL ñ 3,7 DE, la cifra promedio de Hb fue de 15,75 grs y Hto de 46,6 por ciento. En ésta experiencia no se comprobó la mayor efectividad de la luz fluorescente azul en el tratamiento de la icterica neonatal

ABSTRACT

Sesenta neonatos sometidos a exanguinotransfusión(ET), fueron divididos en dos grupos. El grupo 1 (n=30) recibió 1 mL de gluconato de calcio por cada 100 mL de sangre de recambio y el grupo 2 no recibió este suplemeto. A todos se les tomó sangre para medir el calcio total (Cat) y el ionizado (Cai), el inicio, a la mitad y al final de la ET; durante el procedimiento se vigiló la frecuencia cardiaca, el estado hemodinámico y la aparición de signos de hipocalcemia. No hubo inicialmente diferencias en peso, edad gestacional, postnatal, sexo, bilirrubina indirecta, Cat ni Cai. Se observó un incremento progresivo de Cat y una disminución de Cai en ambos grupos, con diferencias signficativas desde la segunda muestra. El incremento del Cat fue significativo tanto dentro como entre los grupos; la disminución de Cai sólo fue diferente dentro de los grupos. Trece RN en el grupo 1 y dos del grupo 2 presentaron hipercalcemia (p=0.02); 16 presentaron arritmias en el grupo 1 y tres en el 2 (p=0.01). Ningún niño presentó signos de hipocalcemia. Los resultados sugieren que la suplementación de calcio en los RN a término sujetos a ET, no es necesaria.

ABSTRACT

Se realizó una prueba clínica controlada para comparar el efecto de cuatro intervenciones distintas sobre la hiperbilirrubinemia en 125 bebés nacidos a término y alimentados a pecho. De 1685 bebés que satisfacían los criterios de inclusión, 126 (7,4 por ciento) tenían una concentración de bilirrubina en suero ? 291 umol/l (17 mg/dl). Cuando la bilirrubina alcanzó este nivel, se utilizó un método al azar para asignar los bebés a una de las cuatro intervenciones: 1) continuar la lactancia materna y observar; 2) interrumpir la lactancia materna y reemplazarla por complemento; 3) interrumpir la lactancia materna, reemplazarla por complemento y administrar fototerapia; 4) continuar con la lactancia materna y administar fototerapia. La concentración de bilirrubina en suero alcanzó 342 µmol/l (20 mg/dl) en 24 por ciento de los bebés del grupo 1, 29 por ciento en el grupo 2, 3 por ciento en el grupo 3 y 14 por ciento en el grupo 4. Cuando se empleó fototerapia, la disminución de la bilirrubina en suero fue significativamente mayor y más rápida (en comparación con los casos en que se administró fototerapia). En la mayoría de los bebés alimentados a pecho cuyos niveles de bilirrubina en suero alcanzaron 291 µmol/l (17 mg/dl), la bilirrubina declinó en forma espontánea y no llegó a 342 µmol/l (20 mg/dl). Si la ictericia es significativa y se toma la decisión de intervenir, se les puede presentar a los padres una serie de alternativas para que ellos, una vez informados, puedan decidir cuál de las intervenciones prefieren

ABSTRACT

O presente estudo tem por objetivo comparar a eficacia da fototerapia que utiliza lampada de quartzo-halogeno com a dos aparelhos convencionais equipados com lampadas fluorescentes brancas. Foram analisados 153 RNs, ictericos (Coombs direto-negativo), divididos em dois grupos: RNs com peso igual ou inferior a 2,5Kg e os RNs cujo peso era superior a 2,5Kg. Em cada grupo os pacientes foram randomicamente selecionados para receber ou fototerapia convencional (FC) ou halogena (H). Os niveis sericos de bilirrubina (BT) foram dosados de 12 em 12 horas durante as primeiras 72 horas de tratamento. Tomou-se a decisao de interromper o estudo quando a bilirrubina serica (BT), nos recem-nascidos com peso < = 2,5Kg, atingisse 80 por cento do nivel de exanguineotransfusao. Quanto aos pacientes com peso > 2,5Kg, decidiu-se que o estudo seria interrompido se a BT fosse > ou = 20mg por cento . Os recem-nascidos retirados do estudo passavam a ser tratados, entao, com fototerapia dupla e/ou exanguineotransfusao se necessario e eram considerados como "falencia de tratamento". A irradiancia media emitida pela fototerapia halogena era cerca de oito vezes maior do que a emitida pelas fototerapias convencionais (27,5 + ou - 10 vs 3,6 + ou - 0,8 uw/cm2/nm, p<0,001). Os RNs com peso igual ou menor a 2,5Kg tratados com fototerapia halogena apresentaram niveis sericos de BT significantemente menores do que os niveis apresentados por aqueles tratados com fototerapia convencional (p < 0,05). Neste grupo um numero tres vezes menor de pacientes tratados com o espote halogeno necessitaram ser retirados do estudo por "falencia de tratamento" (9,6 por cento vs 30,4 por cento p<0,01) como tambem um numero significativamente menor permanecia ainda em fototerapia apos 72 horas de tratamento (29 por cento vs 59 por cento , p<0,01). Quanto menor o peso do RN, maior eficacia teve a fototerapia halogena em controlar os niveis sericos de BT. Entre os RNs com peso inferior a 1Kg, entre 1Kg e 1,5Kg e entre 1,5 e 2,5Kg, a percentagem de pacientes que necessitou ser retirada do estudo por "falencia de tratamento" foi respectivamente (FC vs B): 100 por cento vs 28 por cento , 6 por cento vs 13 por cento e 17 por cento vs 3 por cento (p<0,05). A temperatura axilar durante o tratamento bem como a perda de peso foram semelhantes em ambos os grupos para todas as faixas ponderais. Com os RNs com peso superior a 2,5, a eficacia da fototerapia halogena foi semelhante a das fototerapias convencionais. Nossos resultados sugerem que, com recem-nascidos de baixo peso, e, portanto,mais susceptiveis a desenvolverem impregnacao do SNC, a fototerapia com lampada de quartzo-halogena e mais eficaz em controlar os niveis sericos de bilirrubina do que as convencionais .

ABSTRACT

En el presente trabajo se comparó la fecuencia de aberraciones cromosómicas (AC) y de intercambios de cromátides hermanas (ICH) en los linfocitos de ocho neonatos inctéricos antes u después del tratamiento con fototerapia con el objeto de identificar el posible daño cromosómico. En cada paciente se analizaron 100 mitosis en primera división celular para el registro de las AC y 25 en segunda división para el registró de ICH tanto en los cultivos antes del tratamiento como en los posteriores al mismo. Los resultados no mostraron diferencias significativas en la frecuencia del AC y de ICH antes y después de la fototerapia. Se discute como a pesar de las evidencias in vitro de daño al ADN por la luz de fototerapia sobre todo en presencia de bilirrubina, no se ha demostrado daño cromosómico in vivo
