Measurement of Bilirubin Level in Newborns

Background: Neonatal jaundice is a clinical sign of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, or high total serum bilirubin (TSB), which is caused by bilirubin deposited into an infant’s skin. Sclerae, mucous membranes, and yellowish skin are the hallmarks of neonatal jaundice.

Methods: This study included 50 patients and 15 healthy groups. Every patient chosen for this study had TSB (blood samples were taken as part of the standard clinical procedure).

 Results: These results show that significant difference (p˂0.05) higher among the age group between 6-10 days. These results show that no significant difference of the gender were statistically no significant (p>0.05) patients as contrasted with the control groups. These results demonstrate that significant difference in BMI between patient and control group (p>0.05). In comparison to those without jaundice, the majority of newborns with jaundice were underweight at birth. These results show that significant difference in TSB patient and control group.

Conclusions: The present study suggested that BMI and bilirubin substantially significant (p<0.05) correlation with the risk of neonatal jaundice patients as compared with control group.
