Background: Hyperbilirubinaemia is a common complication of sepsis. Elevated bilirubin may induce inflammation and apoptosis. It was hypothesised that increased serum bilirubin on Intensive Care Unit ...

Objectives: To determine the incidence of severe hyperbilirubinaemia in the newborn, and to identify associated clinical and demographic variables, and short-term outcomes. Design: Prospective, ...

Aims: To compare the predictive performance of clinical risk factor assessment and pre-discharge bilirubin measurement as screening tools for identifying infants at risk of developing significant ...

Background: A recent study proposed a risk factor scoring system for prediction of hyperbilirubinaemia that assigned increased risk to infants of higher birth weight. Objective: To investigate this ...

Our previous study [16] has shown that maternal supplementation of the palmvitee throughout pregnancy reduced hyperbilirubinaemia in rat neonates. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the effects ...

Introduction: Our previous study has shown that maternal administration of palmvitee reduced plasma total bilirubin in hyperbilirubinaemic rat neonates. Therefore, this study was conducted to ...

364 premature infants had previously been studied for the presence of neonatal jaundice, and repeated bilirubin estimations had been made in those showing more than minimal jaundice. In view of recent ...

A regional guidance document on screening newborns for three conditions -- hearing impairment, eye abnormalities, and neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia -- is being released on this occasion to ...

Because the processes instrumental in the pathogenesis of the hyperbilirubinaemia may not yet have resolved by the time phototherapy is discontinued, post-phototherapy rebound may occur. However, data ...

The effect of phenobarbitone therapy on neonatal jaundice was tested in 210 jaundiced newborn Chinese babies. The serum-bilirubin levels after treatment in 93 randomly selected babies were compared ...

For research papers The BMJ has fully open peer review. This means that accepted research papers published from early 2015 onwards usually have their prepublication history posted alongside them on ...
