Patient Blood Management Project Grant:Deferred Cord Clamping to Reduce...
This study aims to utilise the existing Australian Placental Transfusion Study (APTS) dataset and collect additional data from all APTS sites to determine whether, after adjustment for prior risk factors (gestation, birth weight, etc), the:
1) timing of cord clamping, and APTS group allocation predicts the number of blood tests and calculated cumulative sample volume throughout hospital stay;
2) average haemoglobin in the first week and each subsequent week predicts calculated cumulative sample volume throughout the hospital stay; and
3) cumulative sample volume (independent of APTS group allocation and time to cord clamping) predicts the likelihood of an infant receiving a red cell transfusion and the time to first transfusion (if given).
