Abstract

Objectives Delayed Umbilical cord clamping (DCC) increases blood transfer to newborns. Hence we investigated the effect of the timing of DCC on Hemoglobin levels, neonatal outcomes and developmental status in infants at four months old. Materials & Methods This clinical trial examined infants born to 400 pregnant women immediately upon birth and at the age of four months in Isfahan, central Iran in 2016. A table of random numbers was used to randomly allocate the newborns to intervention group with a 90-120-sec delay in Umbilical cord clamping and the control group with a clamping delay of below 60 sec, and blood samples were taken from their umbilical cords. The Ages and Stages Questionnaire was used to evaluate the infants’ developmental status. Results Umbilical cord Hemoglobin was significantly higher in the intervention group compared to in the controls (P=0. 024). No significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of neonatal complications except neonatal jaundice was significantly more common in the intervention group (P=0. 025), although the need for phototherapy was not different between the groups. Overall, no significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of developmental status at four months old; however, the infants had better problem-solving skills in the DCC group (P=0. 015). Conclusion Despite elevating Hemoglobin, DCC has no effects on infant development except in terms of problem-solving skills. Further studies are recommended on the effects of DCC on infant development.
