Neurotoxicity risk factors (AAP 2022)

Suspected or confirmed isoimmune hemolytic disease (e.g., positive DAT/direct Coombs) G6PD deficiency or other red-cell enzyme defect Clinically suspected or confirmed neonatal sepsis Significant clinical instability in the past 24 hours Serum albumin < 3.0 g/dL

AAP 2022: Any of the above factors defines elevated neurotoxic risk, lowering the clinical thresholds for phototherapy and exchange transfusion (dashed line on graph). Prematurity is incorporated into separate curves by gestational week.
