Abstract
Summary & Conclusion
Neonatal jaundice is one of the main causes of the
patient’s admission in the neonatal period and is potentially
linked to morbidity & developmental delay in infancy&
childhood.
The neonatal period (birth to 28 days) is a time of
extensive and ongoing system transition from uterine
environment to external world, this includes the initial period
after birth which is referred to as the perinatal period (Fatima
et al., 2019), the term applies to premature, full term, and
postmature newborn infants (Escobar et al., 2010).
Early recognition of infants at risk of developmental
disability is important, so early complete head-to-toe
examination is important to identify abnormalities that may have
an impact on a child’s development.
The Bailey Scales of Infant Development (BSID) evaluate
the mental and motor development and test the behavior of infants
from one to 42 months of age (Escobar et al., 2010).
AIM: This study aimed to detect the possible
occurrence of motor & cognitive delay in infants as a
complication of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.

METHODS:
A prospective longitudinal case control study was
conducted from 1/2/2015 to 1/10/ 2018 by using Bailey scale III
to evaluate and follow up motor & mental developmental
parameters in cases and control groups, The sample pool of
cases (group I) represented by 109 neonates which were
subdivided into [group Ia to included 55 full-term neonates with
jaundice and group Ib which represented by 54 preterm
jaundiced neonates], this sample pool of cases was admitted in
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in New Cairo Hospital, and the
control group represented by 52 non jaundiced neonates attended
Health Center of The Ministry of Health in New Cairo as
(control group), motor and mental developmental parameters by
using Bayley scale III were followed up during 1st. eighteen
months of life, all variables in this study were analyzed using
SPSS software.
