Jaundice In Full Term And Near Term Babies Who Leave The Hospital Within 36 Hours. The Pediatrician Nemesis

M. Jeffrey Maisels, M.D., BCh. and Thomas Newman, M.D., MPH

Clinics In Perinatology - Volume 25 - Number 2 - June 1998

"It appears that discharge at any time less than 72 hours significantly increases the risk for readmission with hyperbilirubinemiawhen compared with discharge after 72 hours"

"Jaundice is very common, but extreme hyperbilirubinemia is rare. Maximum bilirubin levels of more than 25 mg/dl occurred in 1 in 770 infants in the kaiser Permanente study and levels of more than 30mg/dl in about 1 in 10,000 infants. To make sure we do not miss these rare babies, however, we need to follow and measure serum bilirubin levels on many more who will never develop severe hyperbilirubinemia."

",when possible, any infant discharged at less than 72 hours should be seen by a health care professional within 2 to 3 days."

This are excerpts from the chapter by Maisels.

Clinics In Perinatology (and the corresponding "Clinics" in other specialties) is one of the most respected Review publications in the world.
