However, practice variation exists, and many preterm infants do not receive DCC despite multiple benefits and lack of harm. We aim to 1) study the rate of DCC in preterm infants, 2) compare the difference between infants who received DCC and those who did not receive DCC and 3) investigate the reasons for not performing DCC. METHODS: We conducted this retrospective study to evaluate DCC practice at our institution since its implementation in September 2015. We collected and analyzed the data on DCC of 30\u201345 sec duration in inborn infants &lt;\u200a35 weeks gestation admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit from June 2016- June 2019. The primary outcome was the rate of delayed cord clamping. RESULTS: Of the 447 infants, 275 (62%) received DCC. The rate of DCC was 36%, 54%, and 66% in infants &lt;\u200a27 weeks, 27\u201329 weeks and &gt;\u200a30 weeks gestation, respectively (p\u200a=\u200a0.001). Infants not receiving DCC were smaller, of lower gestational age, and more likely to be delivered via cesarean section than those who received DCC (p\u200a&lt;\u200a0.0001). Infants not receiving DCC had a higher rate of receiving PPV or intubation and a 1minute Apgar score of &lt;\u200a5 compared to those receiving DCC. We could not establish the reason for not performing DCC because of inadequate documentation in the medical records. CONCLUSIONS: The rate of DCC is low in clinical practice, particularly among extremely preterm infants.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/npm-200497","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,9]],"date-time":"2020-12-09T00:04:35Z","timestamp":1607472275000},"page":"391-395","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Delayed cord clamping in infants born less than 35 weeks: A retrospective study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"N.","family":"Singh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Neonatology Division, Department of Pediatrics, Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, Lebanon, NH, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"D.","family":"Brammer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neonatology Division, Department of Pediatrics, Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, Lebanon, NH, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","reference":[{"issue":"10","key":"10.3233\/NPM-200497_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"775","DOI":"10.1007\/PL00008345","article-title":"A randomised controlled trial of delayed cord clamping in very low birth weight preterm infants","volume":"159","author":"Rabe","year":"2000","journal-title":"Eur J Pediatr"},{"issue":"6","key":"10.3233\/NPM-200497_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"466","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.jp.7210970","article-title":"Immediate and delayed cord clamping in infants born between 24 and 32 weeks: A pilot randomized controlled trial","volume":"23","author":"Mercer","year":"2003","journal-title":"J Perinatol"},{"issue":"4","key":"10.3233\/NPM-200497_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1235","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2005-1706","article-title":"Delayed cord clamping in very preterm infants reduces the incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage and late-onset sepsis: A randomized, controlled trial","volume":"117","author":"Mercer","year":"2006","journal-title":"Pediatrics"},{"issue":"4","key":"10.3233\/NPM-200497_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"658","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1537-2995.2007.01589.x","article-title":"A randomized clinical trial comparing immediate versus delayed clamping of the umbilical cord in preterm infants: Short-term clinical and laboratory endpoints","volume":"48","author":"Strauss","year":"2008","journal-title":"Transfusion"},{"issue":"1","key":"10.3233\/NPM-200497_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"F20","DOI":"10.1136\/adc.2006.100354","article-title":"Delayed cord clamping in preterm infants delivered at 34 36 weeks\u2019 gestation: A randomised controlled trial.
