Late vs. early clamping of the umbilical cord in full-term neonates: Systematic review and meta-analysis of controlled trials
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to compare the potential benefits and harms of late vs. early cord clamping in term infants. It was revealed that delayed clamping of the umbilical cord in full-term neonates for a minimum of 2 minutes following birth was beneficial to the newborn, extending into infancy, but in a few cases, there was an increase in polycythemia when cord clamping was delayed.
