Umbilical hernias and anterior fontanelle size in Jamaican children.
This cross-sectional study documents the frequent occurrence of umbilical hernias among Jamaican children and suggests, for the first time, that the presence of an umbilical hernia may be associated with larger anterior fontanelle dimensions. It also demonstrates that data about the people a community health officer serves can be recorded during a busy clinic schedule.
