Addressing the burden of neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia in countries with significant glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency

Glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is an established worldwide risk factor for severe hyperbilirubinaemia. This literature review examined the pattern and management of severe hyperbilirubinaemia in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs) where G6PD deficiency was 10% or more and found that it was frequently associated with neonatal mortality and, or, neurodevelopmental disorders.
