Does waiting to cut the cord cause more baby jaundice?

NCT ID NCT03741803

Summary

This study looked at whether delaying the clamping of the umbilical cord after birth increases jaundice risk in newborns. It focused on babies already at higher risk because their mothers had a previous child who needed light therapy for jaundice. Researchers measured bilirubin levels in 20 newborns to see if the timing of cord clamping made a difference.
