Declarations
:
: This study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles outlined in the Declaration of Helsinki. We obtained ethical approval from the Busitema University Research Ethics Committee (BUFHS-2022-45). The parent study also obtained ethical approval from the Research and Ethics Committee of the University of Liverpool (UoL004457), the Regional Committee for Medical and Health Research Ethics (REC-vest), Norway (#47004), and Cure Hospital Uganda (CCHU-REC/21/019). Written informed consent was obtained from all mothers before recruitment into the trial. The mothers also consented to taking photographs of their babies’ umbilical cords in the informed consent form. After birth, the research midwives explained why they needed to take pictures of umbilical cord. Mothers were again asked if they were willing for the pictures of the baby’s cord to be taken. No pictures were taken without consent.
