BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The aim is to determine the umbilical granuloma frequency of newborns and etiological factors.
In this study, the records of 21344 newborns who were admitted to our hospital between February 2015 and August 2019, were examined.
21191 newborns are included in the study. 2.4% of newborns was Syrian refugee and others were citizens of Turkey. Umbilical granuloma frequency was % 3.83. While umbilical granuloma frequency was 3.85% in Turkish citizen newborns, %3.01 in Syrians. Mean umbilical cord seperation time was 7.1 days in cases with umbilical granuloma. There was no statistically significant relationship determined between umbilical granuloma development and race and time of umbilical cord seperation (p >0.05) The frequency of umbilical granuloma was 3.5% for boys and 4.1% for girls. Umbilical granuloma was being observed statistically significantly higher in girls than in boys (p <0.05). 80.8% of the cases with umbilical granuloma were bathed before the umbilical cord seperation. A significant difference was determined between bathing before umbilical cord seperation and umbilical granuloma development (p < 0.05).
Umbilical granuloma, with frequency of 3.83% in newborns. Umbilical granuloma is more common in girls and newborns bathed before the umbilical cord seperation.
背景/目的：本研究旨在确定新生儿脐肉芽肿的发生率及其病因。
对 2015 年 2 月至 2019 年 8 月我院收治的 21344 例新生儿的病历进行了检查。
本研究共纳入 21191 例新生儿，其中 2.4%为叙利亚难民，其余为土耳其公民。脐肉芽肿的发生率为 3.83%。土耳其公民新生儿脐肉芽肿发生率为 3.85%，叙利亚新生儿为 3.01%。有脐肉芽肿的新生儿脐带分离时间平均为 7.1 天。脐肉芽肿的发生与种族和脐带分离时间无统计学显著相关性（p>0.05）。脐肉芽肿男婴发生率为 3.5%，女婴发生率为 4.1%。女婴脐肉芽肿发生率明显高于男婴（p<0.05）。80.8%的脐肉芽肿患儿在脐带分离前洗澡。脐带分离前洗澡与脐肉芽肿的发生有显著差异（p<0.05）。
新生儿脐肉芽肿的发生率为 3.83%。脐肉芽肿在女婴和脐带分离前洗澡的新生儿中更为常见。
