Factors influencing neonatal jaundice.
An investigation was planned to inquire into the aetiology of neonatal jaundice other than that proved to be due to haemolytic disease. The course of the work evolved on three lines: first, a two-year period of case collection at the Birmingham Maternity Hospital; second, a comparison with another hospital reputedly having a much higher incidence of jaundice and, third, a long-term follow-up to...
متن کاملFactors affecting neonatal jaundice.
Plasma bilirubin was estimated on 690 term infants on about the 6th day of life. Perinatal factors were recorded and the results analysed. Hyperbilirubinaemia was defined as a level greater than 205 micromol/1 (12 mg/100 ml) and this was present in 20% of cases. Three factors--epidural analgesia, breast feeding, and poor weight recovery--showed highly significant associations with jaundice. The...
متن کاملThe Relationship between Neonatal Jaundice and Maternal and Neonatal Factors
Background: Maternal and neonatal factors could help determine the potential incidence of hyperbilirubinemia. In this study, we aimed to identify the relationship between the severity of jaundice in newborns and maternal and neonatal factors. Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted in 2014. Icteric newborns, admitted to Qods and Kowsar teaching hospitals in Qazvin, Iran ...
متن کاملA Genetic Study of Neonatal Obstructive Jaundice.
Clarification of the problem of jaundice in the neonatal period began with the discovery of foetomaternal rhesus incompatibility as the usual cause of haemolytic disease of the newborn. After this, the group of infants in whom the jaundice is of obstructive type, with pale stools and bile in the urine, received more attention, and it was soon realized that not all such infants suffered from atr...
متن کاملFactors influencing the incidence of neonatal jaundice.
A retrospective study of 12 461 single births confirmed an association between maternal oxytocin infusion and neonatal jaundice. The effect of oxytocin on jaundice was independent of gestational age at birth, sex, race, epidural anaesthesia, method of delivery, and birth weight, each of which was significantly associated with neonatal jaundice. The effect of oxytocin was, however, small, produc...
