Incidence of Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia based on Their Characteristics at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung Indonesia
Abstract: Hyperbilirubinemia
is the most frequent clinical condition that occurs in neonates identified by
yellow discoloration of the skin and other tissues. It is caused by elevations
of bilirubin level as the effect of increased breakdown of red blood cells,
impaired conjugation of indirect bilirubin, and incomplete bilirubin excretion.
This study was conducted to discribe the characteristics of neonates with
hyperbilirubinemia.
Methods: This study used descriptive quantitative method which took
retrospective data from medical record of neonates with hiperbilirubinemia in
2014. The population of this study was neonates which were born in the
perinatology division at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung. The
variables collected were gender, gestational age, weight birth, general
condition ad treatment options. The collected data were tabulated and presented
by percentage and in the form of a table.
Results: One hundred and seventy four of 230 medical records of neonates
with hyperbilirubinemia were collected based on the inclusion criteria. The
results showed that 8.04% of 2,531 neonates born at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General
Hospital in 2014 suffered from hyperbilirubinemia. Males (56.9%) were higher
than females to have hyperbilirubinemia. Neonates born at term gestational age
(55.2%) were more likely to have hyperbilirubinemia with low birth weight
category (51.7%), healthy general condition (60.4%). The most treatment option
