Summary
National guidelines from the Task Force on Hyperbilirubinaemia of the Italian Society of Neonatology on the management and treatment of jaundice in newborn infants of 35 weeks' gestation or more. They address the risk that early discharge, particularly when breastfeeding is not yet established, may delay diagnosis of significant hyperbilirubinaemia with potential for severe neurological harm. The guidance is intended as a practical tool for neonatologists and family paediatricians managing neonatal jaundice.
