Neonatal and Maternal Risk Factors for Indirect Hyperbilirubinemia: A Cross-Sectional Study from Bahrain

Table 4

Type of management for 404 neonates with indirect hyperbilirubinemia.

Management	(%)	Indirect bilirubin level (μmol/L)	value
Phototherapy type	342 (84.7)		<0.0001
Single	182 (45.1)
Double	101 (25)
Triple	59 (14.6)
Exchange transfusion use			0.669
Yes	14 (3.5)
No	390 (96.5)
IVIG use
Yes	44 (10.9)		0.005
No	360 (89.1)

Values are presented as numbers (%) or . The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare different types of phototherapies, while the Mann–Whitney test were used to compare neonates who received exchange transfusion and/or IVG with those who did not. value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. SD: standard deviation; IVIG: intravenous immunoglobulin.
