Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Predictive markers enabling Pediatricians to identify which neonates will develop jaundice have mandatory for prevention of severe hyperbilirubinemia. We aim to determine the critical cord bilirubin and albumin levels and bilirubin/albumin ratio.
Design: This prospective study included131full-termnewborns. Hyperbilirubinemia can be predicted by Measuring cord bilirubin , albumin and bilirubin/albumin ratio.
Results: Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (67.8%) had cord albumin level less than or equal to 2.7gm/dl. CordBilirubin/albumin ratio cutoff value greater than 0.62 had a good predictive value with a sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 88.36%,
Conclusion: neonatal hyperbilirubinemia predictors are Cord BILIRUBIN/ALBUMIN ratio , serum bilirubin and albumin.
