<qa>  What is the risk of anemia, blood transfusion, intraventricular hemorrhagePreterm infants are very susceptible to the effects of anemia and hypovolemia. A recent meta-analysis showed that a brief delay in umbilical cord clamping 30-60 seconds decreases the risk of anemia, blood transfusion, intraventricular hemorrhage, necrotizing enterocolitis, and the need for blood pressure support after delivery. The same meta-analysis showed no impact on Apgar scores or hypothermia due to a brief delay in resuscitation efforts to allow delayed cord clamping.
