Delayed versus early umbilical cord clamping for preterm infants: A systematic review and meta-analysis
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology | Nov 02, 2017
Fogarty M, et al. - The impacts of delayed versus early cord clamping on hospital mortality (primary outcome) and morbidity in preterm infants utilizing Cochrane Collaboration Neonatal Review Group methodology is compared in this study. The outcome of this systematic review gives high-quality proof that delayed clamping decreased hospital mortality, which supports current guidelines suggesting delayed clamping in preterm infants. This review does not assess cord milking, which may also be of benefit. Analyses of individual patient information in these and other RCTs will be critically vital in reliably assessing imperative secondary outcomes.
