Risk factors for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hyperbilirubinemia is the most common cause of neonatal hospitalization and, although it generally has a good prognosis, a significant percentage of neonatal patients maintain a high bilirubin level, which can lead to severe complications, including lifelong disability such as growth retardation, encephalopathy, autism and hearing impairment. The study of risk factors for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia has been controversial. Therefore, we evaluated the risk factors of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia using a meta-analysis.

Methods

Relevant English and Chinese studies that discussed risk factors for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia were retrieved from the PubMed, EMBASE, Medline, Central, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang and China Science Digital Library
