A Hospital Policy Change Toward Delayed Cord Clamping is Effective in Improving Hemoglobin Levels and Anemia Status of 8-month-old Peruvian Infants

Abstract

A hospital policy change toward delayed cord clamping is effective in improving Hb levels and the anemia status of 8-month-old infants. Prior to scaling-up this intervention, issues related to training, monitoring, safety, additional long-term benefits and specific local conditions should be investigated.
