Summary

This study examined whether the way doctors clamp the umbilical cord after birth affects the number of blood stem cells in preterm newborns. 49 premature babies were randomly assigned to immediate clamping, delayed clamping, or cord milking. Researchers measured stem cell counts in blood samples taken after birth to see if any method led to higher levels. The study did not test any new treatment, only observed differences between standard care approaches.
