Amaç: Doğumdan sonra term bebekte yaşamın 14. gününde ve preterm bebekte 21. gününde sarılığın devam etmesi uzamış sarılık olarak tanımlanır. Çalışma hastanemiz yenidoğan polikliniğinde izlenen uzamış sarılıklı bebeklerin etiyolojilerini belirlemek, klinik ve laboratuvar bulgularını değerlendirmek amacıyla yapılmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu retrospektif çalışmaya hastanemiz yenidoğan polikliniğinde uzamış sarılık tanısı ile izlenen 100 hasta alındı. Bebeklerin prenatal, natal ve postnatal özellikleri kayıt edildi. Ayrıntılı öykü, fizik bakı ve laboratuvar tetkikleri değerlendirildi. Total bilirubin düzeyleri 10 mg/dL altına indikten sonra bebekler izlemden çıkarıldı.Bulgular: Ortalama doğum ağırlıkları 3150±415 g (2200-4100 g), gestasyonel yaşları 38±1.4 hafta (35-41 hafta), tanı sırasında total bilirubin düzeyleri 15±2 mg/dL, izlemden çıkma zamanları ortanca 41 gün (20-70 gün) bulundu. Bebeklerin %39’u term, %49’u erken term, %12’si geç preterm olup aralarında doğum ağırlığı ve gestasyon yaşı dışında fark yoktu, tüm bebeklerin doğum ağırlığı gebelik yaşıyla uyumlu idi. Bebeklerin %62’si erkek, %47’si sezaryen ile doğmuş, %51’i önceden fototerapi almıştı. Uzamış sarılık etiyolojileri %78 bilinmeyen, %14 idrar yolu enfeksiyonu, %3 glukoz-6- fosfat dehidrogenaz eksikliği, %3 konjenital hipotiroidi, %2 Rh uygunsuzluğu olarak bulundu. Önceden fototerapi alan bebeklerin bilirubin düzeyleri, almayanlardan daha yüksekti (p=0.02).Sonuç: Uzamış sarılıklı bebeklerin çoğunluğunda etiyoloji belirlenememektedir. Bu bebeklerde öncelikle direkt-indirekt bilirubin düzeyleri, anne-bebek kan grupları, direkt coombs testi, retikülosit sayısı, tam kan sayımı, tiroid fonksiyon testleri, glukoz-6-fosfat dehidrogenaz düzeyi, idrar tetkiki-kültürü, idrarda indirgen madde bakılmalıdır. Direkt bilirubin yüksekse karaciğer enzim düzeyleri, metabolik taramalar, TORCH ve batın ultrasonografisi gibi ileri incelemeler yapılmalı, değilse acele edilmemelidir.
Objective: Prolonged jaundice is defined as persisting hyperbilirubinemia after the 14th day following birth for term and after the 21st day for preterm babies. This study was carried out to evaluate the clinical and laboratory findings of infants with prolonged jaundice followed-up at our neonatal outpatient clinic and to determine its etiology. Material and Methods: A total of 100 infants with prolonged jaundice were included in this retrospective study. Prenatal, natal and postnatal characteristics of the babies were investigated. Results of laboratory tests were recorded after a detailed history and physical examination. Infants were followed-up until the total bilirubin level decreased to below 10 mg/dL.Results: The mean birth weight of the infants was 3150±415 g (2200-4100 g), mean gestational age was 38±1.4 weeks (35-41 weeks), mean total bilirubin level at the time of diagnosis was 15±2 mg/dL and mean duration of follow-up was 41±12 days (20-70 days). Term, early term, and late preterm infants made up 39%, 49%, and 12% of the infants respectively. There was no difference between these infants except their birth weights and gestational ages. All the infants were appropriate for gestational age. The male ratio was 62%, the cesarean delivery was rate 47%, and 51% of babies had been treated with phototherapy. The underlying causes of prolonged jaundice were as follows: unknown (78%), urinary tract infection (14%), deficiency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (3%), congenital hypothyroidism (3%), and blood group incompatibility (2%). Babies previously treated with phototherapy had a higher mean total bilirubin level at the time of diagnosis than those not treated (p=0.02)

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication, with at least 10 original articles in each issue, taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.
The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
