Effect of delayed cord clamping on the risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterm infants with respiratory distress.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To assess the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterm infants born at < 32 weeks of gestation who received delayed cord clamping rather than early cord clamping.

Methods

During this multicenter, prospective, observational cohort study, data of 1283 infants born at < 32 weeks of gestation who received umbilical cord management between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2021, were collected from 26 tertiary referral neonatal intensive care units in China. The primary outcome was bronchopulmonary dysplasia.

Results

A total of 440 infants (34.3%) received delayed cord clamping. The bronchopulmonary dysplasia rates were 32.5% and 55.6% for infants who received delayed cord clamping and those who received early cord clamping, respectively. After adjusting f
