Results of studying factors influencing neonatal jaundice

Abstract

Introduction: Rationale Neonatal jaundice occurs in 6-10% of full-term infants and about 20% of preterm infants, and if not diagnosed and treated early, jaundice can deepen, lead to nucleus jaundice, and lead to disability. Objectives: To identify the contributing factors of neonatal jaundice and to study the diagnostic changes. Materials and Methods: The survey was conducted from 2018 to 2019 based on the Urguu Maternity Hospital in Ulaanbaatar, and a 1:2 control group was established to cover 153 neonatal patients with neonatal jaundice. Results: Maternal blood counts include white blood cell proliferation (p=0.001), high platelet counts (p=0.021), chronic cytomegalovirus infection (P=0.005), chronic herpes virus infection (P=0.001), and delayed breastfeeding (P=0.023), delayed viscosity (P=0.020), maternal anemia (P=0.05), and premature birth (P=0.005) were found to be risk factors for neonatal jaundice. Conclusions: Premature birth and fetal infection are the leading causes of neonatal jaundice, with a decrease in blood protein and an indirect increase in bilirubin.
