A randomized controlled clinical trial on peripartum effects of delayed vs immediate umbilical cord clamping on term newborns

European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology May 13, 2021

Ofojebe CJ, Eleje GU, Ikechebelu JI, et al. - Researchers conducted the study for comparing the hemoglobin and serum bilirubin concentration of term newborn following delayed and immediate umbilical cord clamping. Eligible parturients with singleton pregnancy delivered between July 1, 2019, and September 30, 2020, were randomly assigned (1:1 ratio) to either delayed clamping of the umbilical cord (60 s after delivery) or immediate clamping (0-15 s). For this analysis, 102 newborns were randomized into each group and none was lost to follow-up. Postpartum hemorrhage, neonatal jaundice, and the need for phototherapy were not significantly different, whereas respiratory symptoms, polycythemia, and anemia were not identified. According to this randomized controlled trial, when compared with traditional immediate cord clamping, delayed cord clamping at childbirth is more beneficial for term infants in terms of increased hemoglobin concentration. Maternal and perinatal complications were either insignificant or absent.
