Prevalence of neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia and its association with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency and blood-type incompatibility in sub-Saharan Africa: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

The failure to prevent and screen G6PD deficiency and blood-type incompatibility with their mother's results in high burden of neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia in sub-Saharan Africa. Therefore, early identification and care strategies should be developed to the affected neonates with G6PD deficiency and blood-type incompatibility with their mother's to address long-term medical and scholastic damages among those exposed to hyperbilirubinaemia.
