In severe cases, it can result in severe neurological distress. Approximately 1.1 million neonates are affected annually on a global scale, with the vast majority living in sub-Saharan Africa and southern Asia. It is common in newborns in the first week of life. This study aims to assess the magnitude and determinants of jaundice in newborns admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of public hospitals in the city of Dessie in northern Ethiopia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>An institutional cross-sectional study was conducted at the NICU at Dessie town public hospitals from 30 March to 30 April 2020. A systematic random sampling procedure was used to select the study participants. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews with mothers using a structured questionnaire and by reviewing neonatal medical records using a checklist. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify the determinants of neonatal jaundice. A significance level of less than 0.05 was used to declare the statistical significance in the final model.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 218 neonates with their mothers were included in the study. The prevalence rate of neonatal jaundice was found to be 28.4%. The major associated factors for neonatal jaundice were sepsis [adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 10.13, 95% confidence interval (CI)\u2009=\u20092.36, 43.56], preterm\u2009&amp;lt;\u200937 weeks (AOR: 6.03, 95% CI\u2009=\u20091.41, 25.79) low APGAR score\u2009&amp;lt;\u20097 (AOR: 7.34, 95% CI\u2009=\u20091.34, 39.65), ABO incompatibility (AOR: 24.55 95% CI\u2009=\u20091.58, 68.83), prolonged labor (AOR 9.03, 95% CI\u2009=\u20091.67, 48.33), and Rh incompatibility (AOR\u2009=\u200930.40, 95% CI\u2009=\u20092.01, 66.20).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The magnitude of neonatal jaundice among neonates was determined to be high. Therefore, both maternal and neonatal factors contributed significantly to the management of neonatal jaundice and also influenced the use of phototherapy treatment. Proper consideration of these factors is crucial for the prevention and treatment of neonatal jaundice.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fped.2024.1288604","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,25]],"date-time":"2024-01-25T23:47:50Z","timestamp":1706226470000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Magnitude and its associated factors of neonatal jaundice among neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of Dessie Town public hospitals, Amhara region, Ethiopia, 2020: a multicenter cross-sectional study"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Mohammed","family":"Tessema","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hussen","family":"Mekonnen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tsion","family":"Alemu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yohannes","family":"Godie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wegayehu Zeneb","family":"Teklehaimanot","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Leweyehu Alemaw","family":"Mengstie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"524","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2007-2915","article-title":"Trends in hospitalizations for neonatal jaundice and kernicterus in the United States","volume":"123","author":"Burke","year":"2010","journal-title":"J Pediatr"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"57","DOI":"10.1159\/000321990","article-title":"Severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia and adverse short-term consequences in Baghdad, Iraq","volume":"100","author":"Hameed","year":"2011","journal-title":"Neonatology"},{"key":"B3","year":""},{"key":"B4","first-page":"871887","volume-title":"Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics","author":"Kliegman","year":"2016"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1317","DOI":"10.1111\/tmi.12189","article-title":"Incidence and risk factors for neonatal jaundice among newborns in southern Nepal","volume":"18","author":"Scrafford","year":"2013","journal-title":"Trop Med Int Health"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"352","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-3016.2001.00374.x","article-title":"Rehospitalisation for neonatal jaundice: risk factors and outcomes","volume":"15","author":"Geiger","year":"2014","journal-title":"Paediatr Perinat Epidemiol"},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"172","DOI":"10.1159\/000445708","article-title":"Neonatal jaundice in low- and middle-income countries.
