Inpatient treatment is generally not medically necessary for healthy full-term infants with aTSB less than 20 mg/dL, as these infants can usually be treated with expectant observation or home phototherapy. Exchange transfusion involves taking small aliquots of blood from the infant and replacing them with donor red cells until the infants blood volume has been replaced twice to remove bilirubin and antibodies that may be causing hemolysis. According to available guidelines, no further measurement of bilirubin is necessary in most cases. Halliday HL, Ehrenkranz RA, Doyle LW. Various trials in pregnant women who were not isoimmunized but had other risk factors for neonatal jaundice have shown a reduction in need for phototherapy and exchange transfusion by the use of antenatal phenobarbital.

Probiotics supplementation treatment showed efficacy [RR: 1.19, 95 % CI: 1.12 to 1.26), p < 0.00001] in neonatal jaundice. In those (uncommon) circumstances, report P83.5 Congenital hydrocele. Weisiger RA. Depending on the study, 2 to 10 percent of newborns have inconclusive results at discharge (e.g., there may be fluid in the middle ear; the newborn may be fussy; one ear might pass, but the other does not).

No association was found between the UGT1A1*28 allele and extreme hyperbilirubinemia. 1994;94(4 Pt 1):558-565 (reviewed 2000). } } So why would you not use one of the codes from 99221-99223 for the first day? Sharma and colleagues (2017) examined the role of oral zinc supplementation for reduction of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in term and preterm infants. One study evaluated the role of zinc in very low birth-weight (VLBW) infants and remaining enrolled neonates greater than or equal to 35 weeks of gestation. In a prospective study, Casnocha and colleagues (2016) tested the accuracy of TcB measure in newborns undergoing phototherapy. The results revealed that SLCO1B1 388 G>A is associated with an increased risk of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (odds ratio [OR], 1.39; 95 % CI: 1.07 to 1.82) in Chinese neonates, but not in white, Thai, Latin American, or Malaysian neonates. For the term neonates, there were significantly lower bilirubin levels in the clofibrate group compared to the control group after both 24 and 48 hours of treatment with a weighted mean difference of -2.14 mg/dL (95 % CI: -2.53 mg/dL to -1.75 mg/dL) (-37 mol/L; 95 % CI: -43 mol/L to -30 mol/L] and -1.82 mg/dL (95 % CI: -2.25 mg/dL to -1.38 mg/dL) (-31 mol/L; 95 % CI: -38 mol/L to -24 mol/L), respectively. Phototherapy should be instituted when the total serum bilirubin level is at or above 15 mg per dL (257 mol per L) in infants 25 to 48 hours old, 18 mg per dL (308 mol per L) in infants 49 to 72 . These investigators included trials where neonates with hyperbilirubinemia received either clofibrate in combination with phototherapy or phototherapy alone or placebo in combination with phototherapy. They performed a systematic review of RCTs of probiotic supplementation for prevention or treatment of jaundice in neonates (any gestation or weight) using the Cochrane methodology. Links to various non-Aetna sites are provided for your convenience only. There was a significantly lower duration of phototherapy in the clofibrate group compared to the control group for both preterm and term neonates with a weighted mean difference of -23.82 hours (95 % CI: -30.46 hours to -17.18 hours) and -25.40 hours (95 % CI: -28.94 hours to -21.86 hours), respectively. A total of 416 records were identified through database searching; 4 studies (3 randomized studies and 1 retrospective study) meet the final inclusion criteria. 6. Approximately 10 to 20 percent of newborns have an umbilical hernia. Do not code the condition as part of the newborn hospitalization unless it requires a consult, diagnostic or therapeutic services, prolonged length of stay, increased nursing services, or there is documentation by the provider for future healthcare needs.

His or her temperature should be between 97F and 100F (36.1C and 37.8C). These investigators evaluated the effects of antenatal phenobarbital in red cell isoimmunized pregnancies in reducing the incidence of phototherapy and exchange transfusion for the neonate. In pre-planned subgroup analyses, the rates of death were 13 % with aggressive phototherapy and 14 % with conservative phototherapy for infants with a birth weight of 751 to 1,000 g and 39 % and 34 %, respectively (relative risk, 1.13; 95 % CI: 0.96 to 1.34), for infants with a birth weight of 501 to 750 g. The authors concluded that aggressive phototherapy did not significantly reduce the rate of death or neurodevelopmental impairment.
