Abstract

Objective: to analyze the risk factors and prevention strategies of neonatal bilirubin encephalopathy. Methods: 150 new born children admitted to our hospital from January 2018 to December 2018 were selected for the study. All the children were hospitalized in our hospital, and the total bilirubin value reached the blood exchange standard. Results: the results of this study showed that the greater the gestational age, the higher the possibility of bilirubin encephalopathy, and the risk factors of encephaloerythroid encephalopathy also included septicemia, acidosis and other aspects, showing a positive correlation, the data difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: the fetal age of the newborn will affect the incidence of bilirubin encephalopathy, and other factors such as blood bilirubin value, sepsis, hypothermia, asphyxia and anemia are also related to the occurrence of the disease. Bilirubin encephalopathy can lead to hearing damage, brain damage and even death in children, so strict prevention and treatment strategies are needed.
