Abstract
Aim: Newborn babies who are released from the hospital at a younger postnatal age are more likely to be hospitalized to the nursery due to neonatal jaundice. This readmission is undoubtedly a significant source of strain in the nurseries, but it may be addressed by adequate assessment prior dismissing the newborn. The purpose of this study was to see if there was a link among cord blood bilirubin and vein bilirubin on the third day of life.
 Methods: On 120 healthy term newborns, a cross-sectional description research was conducted. Blood was drawn from the child's cord right after birth, whether vaginally or through caesarean surgery, for total serum bilirubin, unconjugated serum bilirubin levels, and conjugated serum bilirubin levels. On the third day (72 hours), a second serum blood sample is obtained from peripheral venous blood, and total serum bilirubin, unconjugated serum bilirubin, and conjugated serum bilirubin levels are measured again. The research was carried out over a one-year period, from March 2020 to February 2021.
 Results: The babies were divided into two groups: those with hyperbilirubinemia and those without. The findings acquired from aggregate and stratified samples demonstrate a significant association 0.542 and P-value 0.001 among serum cord blood bilirubin and peripheral venous blood bilirubin.
 Conclusion: There is a link among elevated bilirubin levels in normal infants born and serum cord blood bilirubin levels. The increase in serum cord blood bilirubin levels correlates with both the increase in peripheral venous blood bilirubin on the third day of life.
Highlights
Health is described as a full condition of physical, mental, and social well-being, the merely the absence of disease or immunity
Variables like gender and mode of delivery were measured as frequency and percentage whereas cord blood bilirubin and venous blood bilirubin were recorded
It has been recommended that predischarge STB of all neonates should be done & compared with the nomogram to determine the risk of significant hyperbilirubinemia prior to discharge
Summary
Health is described as a full condition of physical, mental, and social well-being, the merely the absence of disease or immunity. Despite the fact that we have been independent for more than 64 years, there are still certain severe health concerns that we are unable to resolve. The child mortality rate is one of the most widely acknowledged indices of health condition, not just for babies and for the general population [1]. Pakistan must have been aware of limited resources and limited infrastructure for the development of health unit for neonates specially unit for intensive care of neonates. The foremost goal should be to reach out the masses and to provide optimum care to neonates and gradually declining the everincreasing death rate of children under 1 year specially in newborn period of time [2]
