glycerol and Jaundice, Neonatal

glycerol has been researched along with Jaundice, Neonatal in 2 studies

Moon: The natural satellite of the planet Earth. It includes the lunar cycles or phases, the lunar month, lunar landscapes, geography, and soil.

Jaundice, Neonatal: Yellow discoloration of the SKIN; MUCOUS MEMBRANE; and SCLERA in the NEWBORN. It is a sign of NEONATAL HYPERBILIRUBINEMIA. Most cases are transient self-limiting (PHYSIOLOGICAL NEONATAL JAUNDICE) occurring in the first week of life, but some can be a sign of pathological disorders, particularly LIVER DISEASES.

Trial Outcomes

Length of Initial Round of Phototherapy

time start to time finally off phototherapy, including any breaks during which they were off (NCT01746511)
Timeframe: from time of enrollment to time of discharge, for a maximum of 10 weeks

Interventionhours (Mean)
Glycerin Suppository118
No Glycerin Suppository81

Number of Episodes of Repeat Phototherapy

"Bilirubin levels are checked at regular intervals after phototherapy is discontinued to make sure levels are safe. Depending on rate of rise and predetermined unsafe bilirubin level, phototherapy may be restarted." (NCT01746511)
Timeframe: from time of enrollment to time of discharge, for a maximum of 10 weeks

Interventionepisodes of repeat phototherapy (Median)
Glycerin Suppository0
No Glycerin Suppository0

Peak Total Serum Bilirubin Level

Bilirubin levels were checked every 12 hours while the infant was under phototherapy. A bilirubin level was then to be checked at least twice, 8-12 hours or longer apart, following discontinuation of phototherapy. (NCT01746511)
Timeframe: from time of enrollment to time of discharge every 12 hours while under phototherapy, for a maximum of 10 weeks

Interventionmg/dL (Mean)
Glycerin Suppository11.3
No Glycerin Suppository12.0

Rate of Decline in Bilirubin Levels (mg/dL/hr)

Absolute change over time from peak to first discontinuation of phototherapy lights (NCT01746511)
Timeframe: from time of enrollment to time of discharge, for a maximum of 10 weeks

Interventionmg/dL/hr (Mean)
Glycerin Suppository0.4
No Glycerin Suppository0.4
