Assessment Serum Bilirubin Levels and Pulse Oximetry Oxygen Saturation in Jaundiced Neonates: A Hospital-Based Study in Najaf, Iraq

Abstract

Background: To ascertain if a newborn’s oxygen saturation and serum bilirubin levels at the Al-Zahra Teaching Hospital in Najaf State are correlated. Methodology: A specific questionnaire was used to interview the sixty babies who made up the sample for this investigation. The present study seeks to achieve the aforementioned objectives during the April–May 2025 period. Results: found that, at P>0.05, the differences were not significant. Conclusion: The study’s primary serum bilirubin level decreased overall. Serum bilirubin and oxygen saturation SO2 are not significantly correlated, and the total oxygen saturation measurement is little impacted. The overall evaluation is impacted by the demographic features.
