To assess whether arterial umbilical cord bilirubin (aUCB) level at delivery predicts predischarge neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, facilitating a safe discharge from the hospital.
Prospective analysis of hospital biochemistry records identified near term and term infants with recorded aUCB and predischarge, at 36 h of life, capillary heal bilirubin (cHB), to identify those with a cutoff of bilirubin levels >9 mg/ml, >75th percentile on the nomogram of Bhutani et al.
Of 616 study neonates, median (IQR) aUCB and cHB levels were 1.5 mg % (IQR 0.7-2.2) and 7.7 mg % (IQR 6.6-8.9), respectively. The values resulted statistically correlated (Pearson correlation coefficient 0.26, < .0001) and an increment of 1 mg/dl in aUCB was associated with an increment (Regression coefficient, 95% confidence interval) of mean cHB 0.49 (0.33-0.65, < .0001). Among these, 143 (23.2%) neonates developed bilirubin levels >9 mg/ml at 36 h of life and multivariable analysis confirmed that cHB levels (OR 1.49, 95% CI 1.22-1.82; < .0001) and vaginal delivery (OR 2.34, 95% CI 1.33-4.36; = .005) were significantly associated with bilirubin levels >9 mg/ml.
These data suggest that aUCB should be added to the list of major risk factors for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.
评估分娩时脐动脉胆红素(aUCB)水平是否可预测新生儿出院前高胆红素血症,从而安全出院。
对医院生化记录进行前瞻性分析,以确定记录有 aUCB 和出生后 36 小时内毛细血管胆红素(cHB)的近足月和足月婴儿,以识别胆红素水平>9mg/dl 的婴儿,Bhutani 等的列线图>75 百分位。
在 616 名研究新生儿中,中位数(IQR)aUCB 和 cHB 水平分别为 1.5mg%(IQR 0.7-2.2)和 7.7mg%(IQR 6.6-8.9)。这些值在统计学上呈正相关(Pearson 相关系数 0.26,<0.0001),aUCB 增加 1mg/dl 与 cHB 平均水平增加(回归系数,95%置信区间)相关 0.49(0.33-0.65,<0.0001)。其中,143 名(23.2%)新生儿在出生后 36 小时内胆红素水平>9mg/dl,多变量分析证实 cHB 水平(OR 1.49,95%CI 1.22-1.82;<0.0001)和阴道分娩(OR 2.34,95%CI 1.33-4.36;=0.005)与胆红素水平>9mg/dl 显著相关。
这些数据表明,aUCB 应添加到新生儿高胆红素血症的主要危险因素列表中。
