Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 7
Abstract
Neonatal Jaundice is the commonest cause of admission for newborns. Rh incompatibility is one of the etiologies responsible for neonatal jaundice. The objectives of the study wereto determine the incidence and associated risk factors for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia resulting from Rh incompatibility in a tertiary care hospital. A retrospective study was done for a 2 year period from January 2012. Data on mothers and babies blood group, direct coombs test, cord blood hemoglobin and bilirubin were analyzed. Gender, parity, birth weight and mode of delivery were also recorded.5589 live births were recorded in 2012 & 2013.There were 208 Rh incompatible deliveries,71 newborns required treatment for unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. Jaundice was 3.2 times more likely in Rh positive babies born to multiparous Rh negative mothers. The incidence of Rh isoimmunisation resulting in Hyperbilirubinemia was high in our study and was more in multiparous women
