Study Summary
Studies in several countries with a high rate of death of infants during the first week of life have found a reduction in infection and mortality when chlorhexidine is applied to the umbilical cord stump by a health worker within 24 hours of birth. This study will evaluate if providing chlorhexidine to pregnant women during a prenatal care visit for application to the cord stump after birth will be as effective for preventing omphalitis (infection of the umbilical cord stump) as sending a community health worker into the home to apply the chlorhexidine.
Primary Outcome
Omphalitis is defined as redness of the umbilical stump that extends to the skin of the abdomen with or without purulent exudate (pus).
