The aim is to obtain normal newborn umbilical cord diameters for use it in the evaluation of congenital umbilical hernia.
The umbilical cord diameter (UCD) at the abdominal wall, maternal age, birth weight, gestational age at birth, birth height, head, chest and abdominal circumferences, and the time of measurement after birth was noted.
Mean ± standard deviation and median (minimum-maximum) values of the UCD were 9.9 ± 1.9 mm, 10.0 (5-16 mm), respectively. There was a significance for a positive low correlation between birth height and UCD (p = .039, r = .143). No other birth parameter had a significant correlation with UCD. The gender of the newborn (p = .95) and the type of delivery (p = .056) did not affect UCD.
These data may be used in determining the normality of UCD, which could be helpful in the evaluation of umbilical hernias.
目的是获取正常新生儿脐带直径，以用于先天性脐疝的评估。
记录腹壁处的脐带直径（UCD）、母亲年龄、出生体重、出生时的孕周、出生身高、头围、胸围和腹围，以及出生后测量的时间。
UCD的均值±标准差和中位数（最小值 - 最大值）分别为9.9±1.9毫米、10.0（5 - 16毫米）。出生身高与UCD之间存在显著的正低相关性（p = 0.039，r = 0.143）。没有其他出生参数与UCD有显著相关性。新生儿性别（p = 0.95）和分娩方式（p = 0.056）不影响UCD。
这些数据可用于确定UCD的正常范围，这可能有助于脐疝的评估。
