Egypt90 participantsStarted 2019-04-01

Plain-language summary

To investigate the effect of umbilical cord milking (UCM) on peripheral hematologic parameters including hematopoietic progenitor cells in premature infants ≤ 34 weeks gestational age with placental insufficiency. We hypothesize that UCM would enhance peripheral CD34 concentration, hemoglobin and reduce prematurity complications like NEC and IVH in preterm infant ≤ 34 week gestational age with placental insufficiency.
