Abstract

A significant number of neonates are affected by neonatal jaundice, which is predominantly caused by elevated bilirubin levels. Severe cases may result in bilirubin encephalopathy and Kernicterus. The expeditious detection and management of neonates are complicated by their early discharge. Cord blood bilirubin (CBB) has been identified as a potential non-invasive predictor of neonatal 
hyperbilirubinemia.
