“…The absence of demonstrable effect of maternal oxytocin infusion on neonatal serum bilirubin levels on the first and sixth days is contrary to the findings of Ghosh and Hudson (1972) and Davies et al (1973) but is in agreement with the results of McConnell et al (1973).…”

“…By contrast, McConnell et al (1973) related this to bottle-feeding and not to breastfeeding. The maternal infusion of oxytocic agents such as syntocinonhas alsobeenimplicated as a cause of neonatal jaundice by some workers (Ghosh and Hudson, 1972;Davies et al, 1973), though this has not been found by others (McConnell et al, 1973).…”

Background: Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia is one of the most common reasons for NICU admissions. The frequency of neonatal jaundice has been on an increase since the last decade. Is the increase due to changes in obstetric practice or drugs? There is no definite reason. This study was undertaken to find out any obstetric characteristics which may contribute to the development of Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia and which is modifiable.Methods: Record review data from 140 singleton deliveries at the Institute of Maternal & Child Health ,Govt. Medical College, Kozhikode, Kerala were analyzed to determine the relationship between neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (>10mg/dl) and maternal characteristics. Confounding variables were controlled by multiple logistic regression analysis.Results: There was statistically significant relationship between hyperbilirubinemia and LBW, preterm delivery, PPROM, breast feeding, neonatal infection, instrumental delivery and presence of GDM and IUGR.Conclusions: By identifying these obstetric characteristics, we may be able to modify them and reduce the need for NICU admissions for Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia.

“…Since the claim by Mast et al (1971) and Quakernack and that oxytocic drugs were related to an increased incidence of neonatal jaundice, reports on this and on other maternal or perinatal factors have shown conflicting results (Ghosh and Hudson, 1972;Davidson et al, 1973;Eden et al, 1974;Gould et al, 1974;Chalmers et al, 1975). It was therefore decided to carry out a prospective study at the Birmingham Maternity Hospital taking into account the recent changes in obstetric and paediatric practice to assess incidence, related factors, and clinical implications.…”

SUMMARY Plasma bilirubin was estimated on 690 term infants on about the 6th day of life. Perinatal factors were recorded and the results analysed. Hyperbilirubinaemia was defined as a level >205,umol/l (12 mg/100 ml) and this was present in 20% of cases. Three factors-epidural analgesia, breast feeding, and poor weight recovery-showed highly significant associations with jaundice. The relative importance of these is discussed and compared with recent reports. Induction of labour, for reasons other than postmaturity, and a gestational age <39 weeks showed a slightly increased incidence of jaundice. There was no correlation with other factors tested including oxytocic drug administration. Despite the high incidence (20 %) of hyperbilirubinaemia, only 2.5 % infants needed treatment and none required exchange transfusion.
