    The study evaluated neurodevelopmental trajectories in 234 term neonates with hyperbilirubinemia and developed a predictive model for impairment.

    At 12 months, 12.8% of infants showed neurodevelopmental impairment, with elevated CRP, bilirubin-to-albumin ratio, and NSE identified as risk factors.

    Higher NBNA scores were found to be a protective factor against neurodevelopmental impairment in neonates with hyperbilirubinemia.

    The predictive model demonstrated stable discriminative power with an AUC of 0.797, indicating its effectiveness in risk stratification.

    The research highlights the need for targeted long-term follow-up and developmental monitoring for high-risk infants with hyperbilirubinemia.
