Severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in the south-east region of Turkey.

CONCLUSION: Early discharge, Rh isoimmunization and G6PD deficiency are significant risk factors for severe hyperbilirubinemia and exchange transfusion. Prevention of early hospital discharges, family education to increase awareness for hazardous effects of hyperbilirubinemia and early follow-up visits after discharge would reduce the disease burden.
