Abstract

Neonatal Jaundice is a common neonatal condition, affecting 60% of the neonates, in the first week of life. Although most often it is self-limiting, sometimes, the high bilirubin levels may harm the developing central nervous system and cause neurologic impairment even in term newborns. It is a major cause of hospital admissions, readmissions and neonatal mortality. Hence, we aimed to identify the determinants of neonatal jaundice among neonates admitted to a tertiary care centre, Bundelkhand Medical College, Sagar.
