NCT ID: NCT01528852 Completed - Neonatal Mortality Clinical Trials

Chlorhexidine Cordcare for Reduction in Neonatal Mortality and Omphalitis

CHX-Pemba
Start date: May 19, 2011
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

In a community-based controlled trial among children to evaluate if use of 4% Chlorhexidine cleansing solution on umbilical cord of infants in first 10 days of life results in - Reduction in neonatal mortality (deaths in first 28 days of life) - Reduction in umbilical cord infections (defined by moderate or severe redness of the cord) during first 28 days of life - Reduction in umbilical cord infections (defined by pus formation with any degree of redness) during first 28 days of life. The double blind part of study uses a control preparation without chlorhexidine (CHX) as control group while in the sub-study dry cord care group is also evaluated as second control. Hypothesis is that CHX group will have lower mortality and umbilical cord infections while control group and dry cord group will be similar as shown in a previous study in Nepal.
