Outcome measures
Primary outcome
The number of umbilical granulomas which has disappeared one week, two weeks
and a month after treatment, as a proportion of all umbilical granulomas
treated..
Secondary outcome
adverse effects
satisfaction of parents/caregivers and health care professionals.
Background summary
In some newborns, after the umbilical cord has dried up, an umbilical granuloma
develops. An inflammation can develop at the site of this umbilical granuloma.
Umbilical granulomas are therefore treated by using silvernitrate. This
treatment is usually successful, but carries the risk that silver nitrate can
get on healthy skin. This causes blisters and is painful. The treatment of
navel granuloma with table salt is a common treatment in the United Kingdom and
other countries.
Study objective
The aim of this observational study is to evaluate the treatment of umbilical
granulomas with table salt.
Study design
This is an observational study.
Intervention
application of table salt on the granuloma of the umbilicus.
Study burden and risks
The burden for the child is that table salt will be applied on the granuloma
for a number of days. This is painless, even with a spill. The burden on
parents is that they have to apply the salt three times a day for a number of
days. We also ask them to complete a questionnaire. Finally, we ask them to
take a picture. In our opinion, this is a relatively small burden.
