Abstract

Jaundice (hyperbilirubin) usually occurs in newborns during the first week of life and constitutes the most frequent diagnosis in the Neonatology service. An observational, descriptive and transversal study of neonates diagnosed with jaundice in the hospital between January and March 2022 was carried out. It was found that of the total number of live newborns in the trimester (227), twenty neonates had clinical signs of jaundice or bilirubin values above normal, for a prevalence of this condition in the trimester analyzed of 8.8 %. Seventy percent of poblation had physiological jaundice, which reflects that this condition is not a relevant health problem in the municipality, since the prevalence of pathological variants (0,026) is below 3 %.
