Summary
This study tested a new way of clamping the umbilical cord in very preterm babies (born before 30 weeks). Instead of clamping at a set time, doctors waited until the baby was breathing well and had a stable heart rate and oxygen level. The goal was to see if this approach helps more babies survive without serious brain injury or gut disease. About 689 babies took part across multiple hospitals.
