Automated Auditory Brainstem Response in Neonates with Exchange Transfusion Indirect Hyperbilirubinemia Levels

Abstract

: Background: Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia maybe complicated by severe neurologic disability including hearing impairment (HI). There is no agreement on the precise bilirubin level that may cause auditory affection. Aim of the work: to study the frequency of HI in neonates with indirect hyperbilirubinemia threshold for exchange transfusion (
