Journal ArticleDOI
Topical applications of chlorhexidine to the umbilical cord for prevention of omphalitis and neonatal mortality in southern Nepal: A community-based, cluster-randomised trial
Luke C. Mullany,Gary L. Darmstadt,Subarna K. Khatry,Joanne Katz,Steven C. LeClerq,Steven C. LeClerq,Shardaram Shrestha,Ramesh Adhikari,James M. Tielsch +8 more
TL;DR: Recommendations for dry cord care should be reconsidered on the basis of these findings that early antisepsis with chlorhexidine of the umbilical cord reduces local cord infections and overall neonatal mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of routine prophylactic supplementation with iron and folic acid on preschool child mortality in southern Nepal: community-based, cluster-randomised, placebo-controlled trial
James M. Tielsch,Subarna K. Khatry,Rebecca J. Stoltzfus,Rebecca J. Stoltzfus,Joanne Katz,Steven C. LeClerq,Steven C. LeClerq,Ramesh Adhikari,Luke C. Mullany,Shardaram Shresta,Robert E. Black +10 more
TL;DR: Daily supplementation of young children in southern Nepal with iron and folic acid with or without zinc has no effect on their risk of death, but might protect against diarrhoea, dysentery, and acute respiratory illness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Demographic, socio-economic, and cultural factors affecting fertility differentials in Nepal.
Ramesh Adhikari,Ramesh Adhikari +1 more
TL;DR: Regression analysis revealed that age at first marriage, perceived ideal number of children, place of residence, literacy status, religion, mass media exposure, use of family planning methods, household headship, and experience of child death were the most important variables that explained the variance in fertility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of newborn skin-cleansing with chlorhexidine on neonatal mortality in southern Nepal: a community-based, cluster-randomized trial.
James M. Tielsch,Gary L. Darmstadt,Luke C. Mullany,Subarna K. Khatry,Joanne Katz,Steven C. LeClerq,Steven C. LeClerq,Shardaram Shrestha,Ramesh Adhikari +8 more
TL;DR: Evidence from additional trials is needed to determine whether this inexpensive and simple intervention could improve survival significantly among low birth weight infants in settings where home delivery is common and hygiene practices are poor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of daily zinc supplementation on child mortality in southern Nepal: a community-based, cluster randomised, placebo-controlled trial
James M. Tielsch,Subarna K. Khatry,Rebecca J. Stoltzfus,Joanne Katz,Steven C. LeClerq,Steven C. LeClerq,Ramesh Adhikari,Luke C. Mullany,Robert E. Black,Shardaram Shresta +9 more
TL;DR: Total mortality of children received zinc supplementation was not significantly different from that of children receiving placebo and further data are needed from other populations with endemic zinc deficiency to confirm the potential age-specific effects reported in this study.
