Description
Onur Bağcı and colleagues study delayed cord clamping in babies born before thirty weeks in a 2026 retrospective cohort study. Waiting sixty seconds before clamping lets extra placental blood reach the newborn. Records covered 156 infants in a level-four intensive care unit, seventy of whom received delayed clamping.
The delayed group showed lower rates of brain bleeding, breathing distress, chronic lung disease, and death in raw comparisons. Their early condition scores were also higher, and severe brain bleeding did not occur in that group. After adjusting for birth weight, gestation, and other differences, the gaps lost statistical significance. The authors still favour the practice and want trials including unstable infants.
