Neonatal jaundice. Neonatal jaundice is one of the common symptoms during the neonatal period. Especially in newborns within the first week. It is not only a physiological phenomenon but also a primary manifestation of various diseases. When there are high-risk factors such as hypoxia, acidosis, and infection, Bilirubin encephalopathy may be induced, with a high mortality rate. Survivors often suffer from long-term neurological sequelae. Therefore, it is necessary to promptly and accurately assess the nature of jaundice, and to diagnose and treat it early.
