Correlation of 25-hydroxy vitamin D level with neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in term healthy newborn: A prospective hospital-based observation study

ConclusionTerm healthy newborn having hyperbilirubinemia, with serum bilirubin levels out of the physiological range, have significantly low vitamin D levels and show a statistically negatively correlation with neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (which is out of the physiological range). Thus, decreased vitamin D can be included in the list of risk factors for neonatal jaundice.
