Hematological parameter changes and associated factors in neonates with hyperbilirubinemia treated with phototherapy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Phototherapy is a common treatment for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, however it generates reactive oxygen species and induces apoptosis, potentially influencing blood cells. Assessing changes in hematological parameters is essential to minimize complications and enhance outcomes.

Objective

This study assessed hematological parameters changes and associated factors in neonates with hyperbilirubinemia undergoing phototherapy.

Method

A cross-sectional study was conducted at the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital from May 29 to November 8, 2023. About 246 neonates were selected by convenient sampling. Blood samples were collected before and after phototherapy. Data were entered into Epi-data (4.6.0) and analyzed using SPSS (25.0). The normal
