Abstract

Background. Neonatal jaundice is more common and complicated in low and middle-income countries. However, there is no adequate evidences on the prevalence of neonatal jaundice and associated factors in Ethiopia. Methods. An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from 15 April to 15 June 2021 among 340 neonates admitted to neonatal intensive care unit at public specialized hospitals in Bahir Dar city. Results. The prevalence of neonatal jaundice was found to be 38.8%. Conclusion. The prevalence of neonatal jaundice was relatively high. Being male, prematurity, maternal Rh negative, neonatal Rh positive, maternal blood type AB, and ABO incompatibility were predictor variables of neonatal jaundice. Therefore, healthcare facilities in Bahir Dar city should provide opportunities for testing blood groups and Rh factors of all women early during antenatal care follow-up. Moreover, the treatment of neonatal jaundice has to be easily accessible in all primary health care units of the district.

埃塞俄比亚西北部巴哈达尔市公立专科医院新生儿重症监护室收治的新生儿黄疸患病率及相关因素。

背景。新生儿黄疸在中低收入国家更为常见和复杂。然而，目前还没有关于埃塞俄比亚新生儿黄疸患病率及相关因素的充分证据。研究方法2021 年 4 月 15 日至 6 月 15 日，对巴哈达尔市公立专科医院新生儿重症监护室收治的 340 名新生儿进行了一项基于机构的横断面研究。研究结果新生儿黄疸患病率为 38.8%。结论新生儿黄疸的发病率相对较高。男性、早产、母体 Rh 阴性、新生儿 Rh 阳性、母体 AB 型血和 ABO 不相容是新生儿黄疸的预测变量。因此，巴哈达尔市的医疗机构应在产前护理随访期间尽早为所有产妇提供检测血型和Rh因子的机会。此外，新生儿黄疸的治疗必须在该地区的所有初级卫生保健单位都能方便地进行。
