Abstract

Background and Objectives: Jaundice is the commonest abnormal physical finding during 1st week of life. The objective of our study is to observe the predictive ability of Total Serum Bilirubin at 24 hours of life for development of subsequent neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.

 

Materials and Methods: 210 term and preterm newborns without any significant illness or congenital malformation admitted from July 2017 to June 2018 were studied by serum bilirubin estimation at 24 hours and followed up.

 

Results: Results of the study showed total serum bilirubin of >6mg/dl at 24 hours had a positive predictive value of 73.23% and negative predictive value of 97.12%

 

Interpretation and Conclusion: Early prediction of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia offers an attractive option to reduce bilirubin induced brain damage.
