Epidemiological study investigating the main biochemical profile related to Neonatal Jaundice in Department of Pediatric in Zaliten teaching hospital in Libya

Abstract

Jaundice due to indirect hyperbilirubinemia of the newborn is a common and frequent cause of neonatal admissions to healthcare facilities worldwide. The main objective of this descriptive cross-sectional study was to determine the association of biochemical profiles with neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. We screened children admitted to the Pediatric Department of Zaliten Hospital for jaundice. I use simple random sampling to assess variables related to the main maternal and neonatal biochemical profile associated with neonatal jaundice based on clinical profiles. The study found a relationship between weight, blood type, hemoglobin with hematocrit, and total bilirubin level .
