Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Active Comparator

Experimental

Arm Label

Immediate cord clamping

delayed cord clamping

Arm Description

Immediate cord clamping was defined as clampingwithin 15 seconds of birth

when the cord stopped pulsing, or five minutes

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

The primary outcome was an objective measure of maternal blood loss: the change in maternal hemoglobin level on postdelivery day 1 compared with the predelivery hemoglobin level.

Secondary Outcome Measures

postpartum hemorrhage
defined as estimated blood loss>500cc
uterotonic administration
need for blood transfusion
jaundice
neonatal jaundice
