Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to explore how umbilical cord separation time and microbial colonization are affected by umbilical cord clamping distance.

Methods: The randomized controlled study included 99 healthy newborns and was conducted at a hospital in Kahramanmaras, Turkey. The newborns were randomly divided into 3 groups: intervention group I (cord length: 2 cm); intervention group II (cord length: 3 cm; control group (not measured). On postpartum day 7, a sample of the umbilical cord was taken to assess microbial colonization. The mothers were contacted via mobile phone on the 20th day for an at-home follow-up. The data were analyzed by applying Pearson's chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, a 1-way analysis of variance test, and Tukey's post hoc Honest Significant Difference test.

Results: The mean umbilical cord separation time of the newborns was found to be 6.9 (±2.1) days in the intervention group I, 8.8 (±2.9) days in the intervention group II, and 9.5 (±3.4) days in the control group. The difference between the groups was statistically significant (P < .01). Microbial colonization was detected in 5 of the newborns, across the groups; no significant differences were found between the groups (P > .05).

Conclusion: In this study, it was determined that clamping the umbilical cord from a distance of 2 cm in vaginally delivered full-term newborns contributed to the shortening of the cord fall time and did not affect microbial colonization.

脐带夹紧距离如何影响微生物定植和脐带分离时间:一项随机试验。

目的:探讨脐带夹紧距离对脐带分离时间和微生物定植的影响。方法:随机对照研究纳入99名健康新生儿，在土耳其Kahramanmaras的一家医院进行。新生儿随机分为3组:干预组1(脐带长度2 cm);干预II组(脐带长度:3cm;对照组(未测量)。在产后第7天，采集脐带样本以评估微生物定植。研究人员在第20天通过手机与这些母亲取得联系，并在家中进行随访。采用Pearson卡方检验、Fisher精确检验、单因素方差分析检验和Tukey事后诚实显著性差异检验对数据进行分析。结果:干预组新生儿平均脐带分离时间为6.9(±2.1)天，干预组为8.8(±2.9)天，对照组为9.5(±3.4)天。两组间差异有统计学意义(P < 0.01)。在所有组中，5个新生儿中检测到微生物定植;各组间差异无统计学意义(P > 0.05)。结论:本研究确定，在顺产足月新生儿中，从2 cm的距离夹紧脐带有助于缩短脐带掉落时间，且不影响微生物定植。

期刊介绍： The Puerto Rico Health Sciences Journal (PRHSJ) is the scientific journal of the University of Puerto Rico Medical Sciences Campus. It was founded in 1982 as a vehicle for the publication of reports on scientific research conducted in-campus, Puerto Rico and abroad. All published work is original and peer-reviewed. The PRHSJ is included in PubMed/Medline, SCOPUS, Latindex, EBSCO, SHERPA/RoMEO, Science Citation Index Expanded (SciSearch®) and Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition. All papers are published both online and in hard copy. From its beginning, the PRHSJ is being published regularly four times a year. The scope of the journal includes a range of medical, dental, public health, pharmaceutical and biosocial sciences research. The journal publishes full-length articles, brief reports, special articles, reviews, editorials, case reports, clinical images, and letters arising from published material.
