Delayed Cord Clamping in Infants with Suspected Intrauterine Growth Restriction.

Abstract

We evaluated a subset of infants with suspected intrauterine growth restriction or birth weights small for gestational age enrolled in a study of delayed cord clamping for preterm infants. Compared with immediate clamping, delayed cord clamping was associated with no apparent harm and less suspected necrotizing enterocolitis.
