Phototherapy for Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia: Vitamin D, Calcium, and Magnesium: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to evaluate the effects of phototherapy on serum levels of vitamin D, calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg) in newborns with hyperbilirubinemia. Their systematic review and meta-analysis of 53 studies revealed significant reductions in serum Ca, ionized calcium (iCa), and Mg levels, while the impact on vitamin D levels was inconclusive. They suggest that head covering may help mitigate calcium decline, and recommend selective electrolyte monitoring for high-risk newborns undergoing phototherapy.
