Hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn: rapid review of postnatal care and outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Advances in postnatal care for hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) have occurred over the past decades, but little is known regarding the frequency of postnatal treatment and the clinical outcomes of affected neonates.
