Advances in prediction of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia / 国际儿科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Neonatal jaundice is one of the most commonly diseases in newborns.Severe indirect hyperbilirubinemia may lead to neurotoxicity, or death.Hence, predicting the neonates especially high risk neonates for subsequent bilirubin level is required.This paper gives an account of the predictive value of umbilical cord blood bilirubin level,umbilical cord alpha-fetoprotein level, cord blood hydrogen peroxide and end-tidal CO for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.
