Factors Influencing Umbilical Cord Separation Time in Term and Preterm Newborns: A Prospective Cohort Study from a Tertiary Center in Turkey

Listen to this summary

The study aimed to determine the umbilical cord separation time (UCST) in term and preterm newborns and identify associated influencing factors. The findings revealed that UCST was longer in preterm infants and after cesarean deliveries, while higher lactate and hemoglobin levels, as well as summer births, were linked to shorter UCST. Despite these associations, the overall explanatory power of the model was limited, indicating a need for further research to explore the underlying mechanisms.
