Descriptive statistics on continuous variables (e.g., height, weight, maternal age, gestational age, surgical (closure) time) will consist of means, standard deviations and 95% confidence intervals. Frequencies of race and ethnicity also will be run. To evaluate the primary outcomes between treatment arms, differences in closure time, patient satisfaction and observed healing, t-tests will be utilized. Subgroup comparisons (e.g., within the suture group between curved and Keith needles) also will be performed with t-tests. Secondary analyses of dichotomous (yes/no) variables, including surgeon responses to "Did you find this method effective?" and "Did you find this method burdensome?" will be evaluated with a c2 test. Although infections may occur and will be noted, the rate is anticipated to be so low that statistical assessment will not be necessary. Statistically significant differences will be considered as analyses resulting in p<0.05. All analyses will be performed with SPSS v. 11.5 (Chicago, IL, 2003).
