Abstract

Neonatal jaundice is a common cause of sensorneural hearing loss in children. We aimed to detect the neurotoxic effects of pathologic hyperbilirubinemia on brain stem and auditory tract by auditory brain stem evoked response (ABR) which could predict early effects of hyperbilirubinemia. This case-control study was performed on newborns with pathologic hyperbilirubinemia. The inclusion criteria were healthy term and near term (35 - 37 weeks) newborns with pathologic hyperbilirubinemia with serum bilirubin values of ≥ 7 mg/dL, ≥ 10 mg/dL and ≥14 mg/dL at the first, second and third-day of life, respectively, and with bilirubin concentration ≥ 18 mg/dL at over 72 hours of life. The exclusion criteria included family history and diseases causing sensorineural hearing loss, use of auto-toxic medications within the preceding five days, convulsion, congenital craniofacial anomalies, birth trauma, preterm newborns < 35 weeks old, birth weight < 1500 g, asphyxia, and mechanical ventilations for five days or more. A total of 48 newborns with hyperbilirubinemia met the enrolment criteria as the case group and 49 healthy newborns as the control group, who were hospitalized in a university educational hospital (22 Bahaman), in a north-easte...Continue Reading
