Abstract

Purpose : The present study examined the etiology and risk factors of the early breast-feeding jaundice and the usefulness of auditory brainstem response test as early predictor of kernicterus. Methods : Medical records of neonatal jaundice in newborn admitted to Daegu Fatima Hospital between September 2005 and May 2006 were analyzed prospectively. Infants were grouped according to feeding method : breast feeding group (breast feeding only, n=23), mixed feeding group (breast feeding mainly plus addition of fomula feeding, n=13). Results : There were no significant differences in gestational age, birth weight, sex, duration of phototherapy, serum bilirubin and hemolytic evidence between the two study groups. First visiting day of life at out patient department was significantly delayed in breast feeding group ($8.7{\pm}3.6day$) compared to mixed feeding group ($6.0{\pm}1.9$) (P=0.009). Weight loss was significantly severe in breast feeding group compared to mixed feeding group (P<0.05). In auditory brainstem response test, loss of Wave V in 3 cases was observed and recoverd after blood exchange transfusion in follow up test.Wave III latency had significant correlation to serum bilirubin in auditory brainstem response test (70 dB) (P=0.002). Conclusion : Our study suggest that further education about breast feeding and follow up within the first postnatal week would be necessary for early detection and prevention of early breast-feeding jaundice. Test of serum bilirubin and auditory brainstem response would be helpful in determination of blood exchange transfusion.

목 적 : 최근 모유 수유에 대한 관심이 증가되고 있으나 모유 수유를 위한 충분한 교육과 여건이 성숙되지 못한 상황에서 이를 고집하여 조기 모유 황달이 증가하는 경향이 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 황달의 원인과 위험인자, 핵황달의 조기 예측도구로서 ABR 검사의 유용성을 알아보고자 시행하였다. 방 법 : 2005년 9월부터 2006년 5월까지 신생아 황달로 입원치료 받은 환아 중 임신과 분만 시 관련 합병증이 없었던 출생체중 2,500 g 이상, 재태 주령 37주에서 42주의 36명을 대상으로 하였다. 이 중 전적으로 모유 수유만을 시행한 환아 23명을 모유 수유군으로 하였고, 모유 수유를 우선으로 하였으나 부족분을 조제유로 보충한 13명을 혼합 수유군으로 하였다. 결 과 : 두 군간 임상적 특성은 통계학적 차이가 없었고 다만 외래 방문 시 일령은 모유 수유군($8.7{\pm}3.6$일)이 혼합 수유군($6.0{\pm}1.9$일)에 비해 유의하게 늦었으며(P=0.009), 1주 이후인 경우에서 혈청 빌리루빈이 높은 경향이 관찰되었다. 모유 수유군이 23명(63.9%), 혼합 수유군 13명(36.1%)으로 조사되었고, 혼합 수유의 경우 산모가 적극적으로 모유 수유를 원했으나 모유량의 부족으로 인한 선택이었으며, 모유 수유군에서 혼합 수유군에 비해 유의하게 체중 감소가 심하였다(P<0.05). 비정상 ABR은 혈청 빌리루빈 33.5 mg/dL(외래 방문 시 일령 9일), 32.1 mg/dL (외래 방문 시 일령 7일), 20.3 mg/dL(외래 방문 시 일령 13일) 의 3례에서 V 파형의 소실이 관찰되었고 추적검사가 이루어진 경우 회복을 보였다. ABR 검사 상 70 dB 자극에서 III 파형이 혈청 빌리루빈 값의 증가에 따른 잠복기 연장이 유의한 상관관계를 보였고(P=0.002), 연령을 포함한 다중회귀분석에서도 혈청 빌리루빈 값과 유의한 결과를 확인할 수 있었다(P<0.01). 결 론 : 신생아 황달에서 핵황달의 조기 예측도구로서 ABR 검사를 이용하기 위해서는 향후 지속적인 연구를 통해 파형의 소실 외에도 유의한 잠복기의 연장이나 파형의 변형에 따르는 분석을 위해 검사방법과 정상치를 표준화함으로써 도움이 될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 또한 모유 수유의 경우 조기 모유 황달을 예방하려면 산모에 대한 충분한 교육 및 생후 1주 이내의 외래 방문을 권할 필요가 있으며, 혈청 빌리루빈 및 ABR 검사를 시행하면 교환 수혈의 시행 여부에도 도움이 될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
