Abstract

Authors’ conclusions: among preterm infants, delayed cord clamping did not result in a lower incidence of the combined outcome of death or major morbidity at 36 weeks of gestation than immediate cord clamping.

Reviewers’ commentary: among preterm infants, delayed cord clamping did not show differences in the rates of death or major morbidity versus immediate cord clamping, so it could be an option to be considered in the birth of these children, and could be assessed by the clinician in each individual case. There were some differences in other tertiary variables that will need to be confirmed in future studies.
