ABSTRACT

Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia,a common disease in the newborn period,account for about 8％ ～ 11％ in all newborns.Without getting proper controlling or being treated on time,severe hyperbilirubinemia may develop bilirubin encephalopathy leading to nerve damage and functional disability,which causes society and family problems.The hour-specific bilirubin nomogram is used to evaluate neonatal bilirubin discharge risks,intervention and follow-up.All pediatricians all over the world are focus on reducing the occurrence of bilirubin encephalopathy.In this study,we reviewed all researches about predicting the occurrence of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia after discharge using the hour-specific bilirubin nomogram which will better guide clinical diagnosis and treatment.
