2. INTRODUCTION Jaundice is the commonest abnormal physical finding with an incidence of about 60% in term babies and 80% in preterm babies. It is the commonest cause of admission to the hospitals in the newborn period. In preterm babies, the percentage is exceedingly high due to their physiological handicaps and other hazards of prematurity like asphyxia, septicemia, respiratory and circulatory insufficiency. Non physiological or pathological jaundice is also known to occur in (8-9%) of newborns with approximately 4% after 72 hours of age. Its timely detection and optimal management are crucial to prevent brain damage and subsequent neuromotor retardation due to bilirubin encephalopathy. The etiology in the majority of these cases is blood group (ABO) incompatibility, although this might not always be confirmed. Jaundice refers to the yellowish discolouration of the skin and sclera of newborn babies that results from accumulation of bilirubin in the skin and mucus membrane (>5mg/dl) and in adults (>2mg/dl). (Porter & Dennis, 2002)
3. There is a wide variation in the etiology of neonatal jaundice. All healthy newborns are at potential risk if their jaundice is unmonitored or managed inappropriately. In india healthy neonates are usually discharged within (24-48 hrs) after a normal delivery. Due to continuing rise of bilirubin and absence of follow-up and supervision for ensuring optimal feeding, neonates discharged before completing (48-72hrs)are at high risk of developing undetected significant jaundice (National Neonatology Forum,2011) . There is a need to address the social demand for patient safety and to respond to calls for a public health policy to better manage in preventable injury by identifying of risk factors for severe hyperbilirubinemia prior to discharge from hospitals, lactation support to ensure optimal feeding, and parents education and keeping follow-up appointments. Thus the present study was planned to know the various etiologies of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in our establishments and the need for the early therapeutic interventions.

Division of Neonatology, Department of Pediatrics, All India Institute of Medical Science, New Delhi. Out of total 7680 live births, 454 developed hpyerbilirubinemia (serum bilirubin >12mg/dL. The most common cause of hyperbilirubinemia was idiopathic 34.6% followed by prematurity in ABO Iso-immunization. The most common cause of hyperbilirubinemia requiring exchange transfusion was ABO isoimmunization. ETIOLOGY OF NEONATAL JAUNDICE AN EXPERIENCE AT TERTIARY HOSPITAL (2007).
