English Abstract
The present study occurred to detected on the factors in distribution of neonatal jaundice.
During the first week of postnatal life affecting almost two thirds of term newborns, jaundice occurs in 60% of term newborns and 80% of preterm newborns in the first week of birth.
Methods: The present study was conducted from September 2017 to January 2018.
It was included 106 neonatal infants age (at born -17 day) treated with neonatal jaundice, who were Neonatology department at Al-Zahra Teaching Hospital located in Al-Najaf, Iraq.
Data were collected using the newborns’ medical records and interview sessions with the mothers.
The results of this study were showed of 106 neonates jaundice infants indicated to significant difference p-value is <0.05 of age groups (<24 Hr.
n= 46, 1-8 day n= 42, 9-16 n= 18), of neonatal jaundice infants in parameters included TSB, Hb, weight, and gestation age.
The percent of neonatal jaundice rate was highest in male 62(59%) from female 44(41%).
Increased of percent of neonatal jaundice rate in Gestation Age group >36 week n = 64(60.40%) more than group =< 35 week n = 42(39.60 %), a statistically significant differences p <0.05 decreased in TSB, Hb, weight, and gestation age of weight group =< 1500 g n=22(20.8%), more than groups1600-2500 g n=32 (30.2%), and >2600 g n=52(49.1%) when compared between them.
ABO results: the high percent rate in blood group O maternal (41.5%) when compared with A (32.1%), B (22.65%), and AB(3.8%) maternal blood groups.
Conclusion: ABO and age gestation was an important factors may be effects of development physiological neonatal jaundice into harmful pathological neonatal jaundice and hyperbilirubinemia.
