Abstract

Neonatal jaundice is a common cause of hospitalisation. This study aimed to identify maternal and neonatal factors associated with neonatal jaundice among hospitalised neonates in north Jordan. This was a case control study involving 312 mothers and their neonates (106 cases, 206 controls), recruited from two governmental hospitals in north Jordan. A structured interview was used to collect data. Neonatal medical records were accessed for clinical data. Maternal factors associated with higher risk of jaundice included having higher education, being employed and having had a caesarean section. Neonatal factors associated with higher risk of jaundice included being preterm, receiving <5 feeds per day and having ABO incompatibility. Using evidence-based guidelines for the assessment and management of risk factors helps to reduce the prevalence of jaundice requiring hospitalisation among neonates. Raising mothers' awareness of neonatal jaundice through interventions and education sessions during antenatal care, in particular for high-risk mothers, is also likely to help reduce its prevalence.

约旦与新生儿黄疸相关的产妇和新生儿因素：病例对照研究

新生儿黄疸是住院治疗的常见原因。本研究旨在确定约旦北部住院新生儿中与新生儿黄疸相关的产妇和新生儿因素。这是一项病例对照研究，从约旦北部的两家政府医院招募了312名母亲及其新生儿（106名病例，206名对照）。研究采用结构化访谈法收集数据。此外，还查阅了新生儿医疗记录，以获取临床数据。与黄疸风险较高相关的母亲因素包括受过高等教育、有工作和曾进行过剖腹产。新生儿黄疸风险较高的相关因素包括早产、每天喂养次数少于 5 次以及 ABO 血型不相容。使用循证指南评估和管理风险因素有助于降低新生儿黄疸住院的发生率。在产前护理期间通过干预和教育课程提高母亲对新生儿黄疸的认识，尤其是针对高危母亲，也可能有助于降低新生儿黄疸的发病率。
