preterm babies and IUGR and sick baby ex infection &acidosis& hemolysis
Low birth weight and premature infants are at major risk for exaggerated hyperbilirubinaemia and jaundice that can lead to bilirubin encephalopathy. Phototherapy is the most common treatment for neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia and could be most effective in preventing the sequelae of hyperbilirubinaemia if initiated prophylactically.
Pretermaturity (< weeks gestational age) and low birth weight infants (birth weight < g) are at high risk for exaggerated hyperbilirubinaemia and potential bilirubin encephalopathy.
