Variables Associated With Breastfeeding Duration

TL;DR: Human lactation is a complex phenomena and the duration of breastfeeding is influenced by many demographic, physical, social, and psychological variables.
Journal ArticleDOI

Delayed Cord Clamping in Very Preterm Infants Reduces the Incidence of Intraventricular Hemorrhage and Late-Onset Sepsis: A Randomized, Controlled Trial

TL;DR: Delayed cord clamping seems to protect VLBW infants from IVH and LOS, especially for male infants, and there was a trend toward higher initial hematocrit in the infants in the DCC group.
Journal ArticleDOI

Current Best Evidence: A Review of the Literature On Umbilical Cord Clamping

TL;DR: Benefits associated with delayed clamping in preterm infants included higher hematocrit and hemoglobin levels, blood pressure, and blood volume, with better cardiopulmonary adaptation and fewer days of oxygen and ventilation and fewer transfusions needed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Placental Transfusion Strategies in Very Preterm Neonates: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

TL;DR: It is suggested that enhanced placental transfusion at birth provides better neonatal outcomes than does early cord clamping, most notably reductions in overall mortality, lower risk of intraventricular hemorrhage, and decreased blood transfusion incidence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hemodynamic Effects of Delayed Cord Clamping in Premature Infants

TL;DR: In this paper, a prospective study was conducted on a subset of premature infants who were enrolled in a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effects of delayed cord clamping (DCC) versus ICC.
