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

Effect of timing of umbilical cord clamping of term infants on maternal and neonatal outcomes
TL;DR: A more liberal approach to delaying clamping of the umbilical cord in healthy term infants appears to be warranted, in light of early iron stores in haemoglobin concentrations, which is likely delayed that jaundice is available for long as access to phototherapy requiring phototherapy.

Late vs early clamping of the umbilical cord in full-term neonates: systematic review and meta-analysis of controlled trials.

TL;DR: Delaying clamping of the umbilical cord in full-term neonates for a minimum of 2 minutes following birth is beneficial to the newborn, extending into infancy, and there was an increase in polycythemia among infants in whom cord clamping was delayed, which appeared to be benign.
Journal ArticleDOI
Active versus expectant management for women in the third stage of labour
TL;DR: Although there is a lack of high-quality evidence, active management of the third stage reduced the risk of haemorrhage greater than 1000 mL at the time of birth and showed a significant decrease in primary blood loss greater than 500 mL, and mean maternal blood loss at birth.

Daily oral iron supplementation during pregnancy
TL;DR: Women receiving iron were on average more likely to have higher haemoglobin concentrations at term and in the postpartum period, but were at increased risk of Hb concentrations greater than 130 g/L during pregnancy, and at term.

Delayed Cord Clamping in Very Preterm Infants Reduces the Incidence of Intraventricular Hemorrhage and Late-Onset Sepsis: A Randomized, Controlled Trial
Judith S. Mercer,Betty R. Vohr,Margaret M. McGrath,James F. Padbury,Michael Wallach,William Oh +5 more
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.

Poorer behavioral and developmental outcome more than 10 years after treatment for iron deficiency in infancy.
TL;DR: Severe, chronic iron deficiency in infancy identifies children who continue at developmental and behavioral risk >10 years after iron treatment, and these children are identified in increased concerns about anxiety/depression, social problems, and attention problems.

TL;DR: Investigating the association of inflammatory mediators and markers of autoimmune and coagulation disorders with cerebral palsy concluded that inflammation and these coagulating abnormalities, which have interacting pathways, are important in the etiology of CP.
