Amaç: Çalışmamızı fototerapi ilişkili direkt hiperbilirubineminin sıklığını ve olası risk faktörlerini saptamak amacıyla planladık.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Yenidoğan ünitesine indirekt hiperbilirubinemi tanısı ile 2005 ve 2013 yılları arasında yatan 1301 yenidoğanın dosyaları geriye dönük olarak tarandı. Hiperbilirubinemi haricinde başka hastalığı da olan yenidoğanlar çalışmadan çıkartıldı.Bulgular: Fototerapiyi takiben hem direkt bilirubin seviyesi hem de direkt bilirubin/total bilirubin oranı artmaktadır (sırasıyla p < 0.001 ve p < 0.001). Patolojik direkt bilirubin/total bilirubin sınırı %20 alındığında, fototerapi ile ilişkili direkt hiperbilirubinemi sıklığı %0.9 olarak bulundu. Artmış direkt bilirubin seviyeleri ve direkt bilirubin/total bilirubin oranı 3 gün içerisinde normale dönmekteydi, fakat bu değerler halen fototerapi öncesindeki değerlere göre anlamlı olarak yüksekti (sırasıyla p < 0.001 ve p < 0.001). ABO uygunsuzluğu olan hastalarda direkt bilirubindeki ve direkt bilirubin/total bilirubin değerindeki artışın daha hızlı olduğu saptandı (sırasıyla p < 0.001 ve p < 0.001).Sonuç: Fototerapi sonrasında direkt bilirubin düzeyi ve direkt bilirubin / total bilirubin oranı geçici olarak artabilmektedir. Bu durum kısa sürelidir ve saptanabilen tek risk faktörü ABO uygunsuzluğudur. Gereksiz ileri araştırmaların önüne geçilmesi açısından yenidoğanların tedavisinde görev alan doktorların bu durumu akılda tutmaları yararlı olacaktır.
Objective: We aimed to investigate the frequency and possible risk factors of phototherapy-related direct hyperbilirubinemia.Material and Methods: We scanned the medical records of 1301 patients who were admitted to the neonatology unit for indirect hyperbilirubinemia between 2005 and 2013. Infants with a clinical condition other than hyperbilirubinemia were excluded. Results: Following phototherapy both the direct bilirubin level and direct bilirubin/total bilirubin ratio increased (p<0.001 and p<0.001, respectively). The frequency of phototherapy-related direct hyperbilirubinemia was found to be 0.9% if the direct bilirubin/total bilirubin cut-off level was set to 20%. The elevated direct bilirubin level and direct bilirubin/total bilirubin ratio returned to normal within three days, although they were still significantly higher than the pre-phototherapy levels (p < 0.001; p < 0.001, respectively). The increase in direct bilirubin level and direct bilirubin/total bilirubin ratio were found to be brisker in patients with ABO incompatibility (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively).Conclusion: The direct bilirubin level and direct bilirubin/total bilirubin ratio may temporarily rise following phototherapy. This deviation is short term, and ABO incompatibility is the only identified risk factor.To prevent unnecessary investigations this phenomenon should kept in mind by the physicians caring for infants

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.
