BACKGROUND Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is a significant health problem in Myanmar, and the rate of kernicterus is also higher than in developed countries. Non-invasive methods for early detection and treatment of hyperbilirubinemia are urgently needed. In this study, we used transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) measurements to develop an hour-specific TcB nomogram for the effective management of hyperbilirubinemia in Myanmar newborns. METHODS The bilirubin levels of neonates born in Central Women Hospital in Yangon, Myanmar were measured three times a day within 72 h after birth using a transcutaneous bilirubinometer. An hour-specific TcB nomogram was created based on the data. RESULTS Participants were 512 infants (287 boys, 225 girls) born in Central Women's Hospital in Yangon. The mean (±SD) gestational age was 38.4 ± 1.2 weeks; birthweight was 3078 ± 412 g. A total of 3,039 plots were obtained, and the TcB nomogram was created with smoothed percentile curves (97.5th, 50th, and 2.5th percentiles) for 0-72 h after birth. CONCLUSIONS An hour-specific TcB nomogram was successfully created to manage hyperbilirubinemia in Myanmar newborns.

D007647 Kernicterus A term used pathologically to describe BILIRUBIN staining of the BASAL GANGLIA; BRAIN STEM; and CEREBELLUM and clinically to describe a syndrome associated with HYPERBILIRUBINEMIA. Clinical features include athetosis, MUSCLE SPASTICITY or hypotonia, impaired vertical gaze, and DEAFNESS. Nonconjugated bilirubin enters the brain and acts as a neurotoxin, often in association with conditions that impair the BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER (e.g., SEPSIS). This condition occurs primarily in neonates (INFANT, NEWBORN), but may rarely occur in adults.

D002052 Myanmar A republic of southeast Asia, northwest of Thailand, long familiar as Burma. Its capital is Yangon, formerly Rangoon. Inhabited by people of Mongolian stock and probably of Tibetan origin, by the 3d century A.D. it was settled by Hindus. The modern Burmese state was founded in the 18th century but was in conflict with the British during the 19th century. Made a crown colony of Great Britain in 1937, it was granted independence in 1947. In 1989 it became Myanmar. The name comes from myanma, meaning the strong, as applied to the Burmese people themselves.

D005865 Gestational Age The age of the conceptus, beginning from the time of FERTILIZATION. In clinical obstetrics, the gestational age is often estimated from the onset of the last MENSTRUATION which is about 2 weeks before OVULATION and fertilization.
