Effect of Fenofibrate on Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Background: Jaundice is one of the most common neonatal complications. Therefore, promptly diagnosing and treating it is vital. This study aimed to determine the effect of Fenofibrate and phototherapy compared to the phototherapy alone on total serum bilirubin (TSB) at 24 and 48 h (primary outcome)...
