Umbilical cord milking vs delayed cord clamping and associations with in-hospital outcomes among extremely premature infants
The Journal of Pediatrics Jan 08, 2021
Kumbhat N, Eggleston B, Davis AS, et al. - Researchers conducted this multicenter retrospective study for comparing in-hospital outcomes after umbilical cord milking vs delayed cord clamping among infants < 29 weeks’ gestation. The sample consisted of infants born < 29 weeks’ gestation from 2016 to 2018 without congenital anomalies who received active treatment at delivery and were exposed to UCM or DCC. Of the1,834 infants, 23.6% were exposed to UCM and 76.4% to DCC. This analysis of extremely preterm infants indicates that DCC is the recommended practice for placental transfusion, as UCM exposure was related to an increase in the adverse outcome of severe intraventricular hemorrhage.
