Acute Biochemical alterations during Phototherapy of Neonatal Icterus: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Purpose Phototherapy is used in the treatment of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. There are contravening reports on its its adverse effect. This meta-analysis was conducted to substantiate the impact of phototherapy on the parameters indicating oxidative stress and proinflammatory cytokines. Methods The relevant clinical studies were searched on PubMed, Google Scholar, Stanford University High-Wire Press, Clinical trial registry, and on Semantic Scholar published up to 30th July 2022. Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to assess the study qualities. The overall estimate was calculated in terms of odds ratio with 95% confidence interval using random effect model. The sensitivity and subgroup analysis were carried out along with the qualitative assessment of the publication bias. All the analysis was carried out using RevMan 5. Results Total 1735 participants from 31 pertinent studies were used for the quantitative analysis. The pooled estimates of the phototherapy-exposed group were compared with the control group. Our analysis revealed that phototherapy used in treating neonatal jaundice induced significant oxidative stress and increased the levels of inflammatory cytokines. Overall estimate measure i.e., mean difference was found to be significant [1.39 (0.79 1.99)] for MDA (nmol per ml), [-0.87 (-1.35 -0.39)] for MDA (nmol per litre) [-0.25 (-0.34 -0.15)] for TAC, [-81.68 (-105.50 -57.85)] for TNF-α, and non-significant for TOS and IL-6 i.e [1.36(-2.67 5.39)] and [1.96 (-0.89 4.81)] respectively Conclusion Therapeutic exposure to phototherapy in treating neonatal jaundice induces a rise in oxidative stress and inflammatory cytokine levels. The short and long-term clinical outcomes may have clinical significance.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
