Mean birthweight was significantly higher in the late, compared with early, cord clamping (101 g increase 95% CI 45 to 157, random\u2010effects model, 12 trials, 3139 infants, I\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      62%). Fewer infants in the early cord clamping group required phototherapy for jaundice than in the late cord clamping group (RR 0.62, 95% CI 0.41 to 0.96, data from seven trials, 2324 infants with a LCER of 4.36%, I\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      0%). Haemoglobin concentration in infants at 24 to 48 hours was significantly lower in the early cord clamping group (MD \u20101.49 g\/dL, 95% CI \u20101.78 to \u20101.21; 884 infants, I\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      59%). This difference in haemoglobin concentration was not seen at subsequent assessments. However, improvement in iron stores appeared to persist, with infants in the early cord clamping over twice as likely to be iron deficient at three to six months compared with infants whose cord clamping was delayed (RR 2.65 95% CI 1.04 to 6.73, five trials, 1152 infants, I\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      82%). In the only trial to report longer\u2010term neurodevelopmental outcomes so far, no overall differences between early and late clamping were seen for Ages and Stages Questionnaire scores.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Authors' conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A more liberal approach to delaying clamping of the umbilical cord in healthy term infants appears to be warranted, particularly in light of growing evidence that delayed cord clamping increases early haemoglobin concentrations and iron stores in infants. Delayed cord clamping is likely to be beneficial as long as access to treatment for jaundice requiring phototherapy is available.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Plain Language Summary<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:bold>Effect of timing of umbilical cord clamping of term infants on mother and baby outcomes<\/jats:bold>\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>At the time of birth, the infant is still attached to the mother via the umbilical cord, which is part of the placenta. The infant is usually separated from the placenta by clamping the cord. This clamping is one part of the third stage of labour (the time from birth of the baby until delivery of the placenta) and the timing can vary according to clinical policy and practice. Although early cord clamping has been thought to reduce the risk of bleeding after birth (postpartum haemorrhage), this review of 15 randomised trials involving a total of 3911 women and infant pairs showed no significant difference in postpartum haemorrhage rates when early and late cord clamping (generally between one and three minutes) were compared. There were, however, some potentially important advantages of delayed cord clamping in healthy term infants, such as higher birthweight, early haemoglobin concentration, and increased iron reserves up to six months after birth. These need to be balanced against a small additional risk of jaundice in newborns that requires phototherapy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/ebch.1971","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,6,16]],"date-time":"2014-06-16T20:07:41Z","timestamp":1402949261000},"page":"303-397","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":94,"title":["Effect of timing of umbilical cord clamping of term infants on maternal and neonatal outcomes"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Susan J","family":"McDonald","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Philippa","family":"Middleton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Therese","family":"Dowswell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter S","family":"Morris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,6,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_18_2_1","unstructured":"References to studies included in this review"},{"key":"e_1_2_18_3_1","unstructured":"Al\u2010Tawil 2012 {published data only}"},{"issue":"4","key":"e_1_2_18_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"319","DOI":"10.3233\/NPM-1263112","article-title":"A randomized controlled trial on delayed cord clamping and iron status at 3\u20105 months in term neonates held at the level of maternal pelvis","volume":"5","author":"Al\u2010Tawil MM","year":"2012","journal-title":"Journal of Neonatal\u2010Perinatal Medicine"},{"key":"e_1_2_18_5_1","unstructured":"Andersson 2011 {published and unpublished data}"},{"key":"e_1_2_18_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/apa.12168"},{"key":"e_1_2_18_7_1","unstructured":"AnderssonO Hellstrom\u2010WestasD ClaussenJ DomellofM.Effects of early vs. delayed umbilical cord clamping on cord blood sampling and maternal postpartum hemorrhage a randomized trial.
