Comparison of the Frequency of Neonatal Anemia in Early Versus Delayed Cord Clamping in Babies at Term

Aim: To compare frequency of the anemia in neonates early versus delayed umbilical cordclamping term infants. Study design: Randomized controlled trial. Place and duration study: Department Obstetrics & Gynecology, Divisional Headquarters Hospital Mirpur AJK from 30th January 2021 to 29th July 2021. Methodology: The study enrolled 96infants which were delivered at within gestational range 37-41 weeks (as assessed on LMP). Those infants who born diabetic, sepsis mother or with inborn metabolic errors, jaundice neonatorum Rh incompatibility PROM excluded study. Then selected women placed randomly into two equal groups i.e. Group A (early cord clamping) B(delayed by lottery method. Respective group selection was performed through randomization. In a neonates, clamping (cord 15 seconds birth) done while B after 3 minutes done. both groups, blood sample all sent 6 hours birth for hematocrit level measurement neonatal noted. Results: mean age years patients calculated as 26.52±5.17 it 27.17±3.89. 80.21% 18 30 determined 39.23±1.48 weeks. 39.25±1.48 39.21±1.49 Frequency clamp) (delayed 11 (22.92%) 04 (8.33%) respectively p-value 0.049. Practical Implication: we recommend that should be preferred our routine practice prevention anemia. Conclusion: This concluded is high compared Keywords: Cord Clamping, Delayed, Anemia.
