Phototherapy Induced Hypocalcemia in Neonates
نویسندگان
چکیده
The objective is to study the effect of phototherapy on serum calcium in neonates. A Cross sectional study was performed in a Tertiary care centre, Gandhi Medical College, Bhopal. Study group includes neonates with hyperbilirubinemia requiring phototherapy and control group include neonates having hyperbilirubinemia in physiological range. Study group and control group includes 60 and 30 neonates respectively. Half of them were term and half were pre terms. 66.7% of preterm and 30% of term babies developed hypocalcaemia after phototherapy which shows statistical significant difference when compared to control group (p value <0.001). Phototherapy induced hypocalcaemia is a significant problem especially in pre term babies.
