Factors Associated with Readmission of Pediatric Patients in a Developing Nation.

Objectives: To determine the incidence of readmission in pediatric patients in a tertiary care hospital in a developing nation and to ascertain factors precipitating readmissions.

Methods: A prospective study was conducted from February 2016 through January 2017 at a tertiary care hospital. Children between 1 mo to 15 y of age were included if they were readmitted within 60 d of discharge.

Randomised control trial showed that delayed cord clamping and milking resulted in no significant differences in iron stores and physical growth parameters at one year of age.

Aim: Placental redistribution has been shown to improve haematological outcomes in the immediate neonatal period and early infancy. This study compared the effects of delayed cord clamping (DCC) and umbilical cord milking (UCM) on haematological and growth parameters at 12 months of age.

Methods: This was a follow-up study of a randomised control trial, conducted in a tertiary care paediatric centre from August 2013 to August 2014.

Comparison of Umbilical Cord Milking and Delayed Cord Clamping on Cerebral Blood Flow in Term Neonates.

Objective: To compare the effect of umbilical cord milking (UCM) and delayed cord clamping (DCC) on cerebral blood flow in term neonates.

Methods: This randomized controlled trial was conducted at a teaching hospital in India during 2012 to 2013. Two hundred newborns (>36wk) were randomized to UCM and DCC groups.

Comparison of two types of intervention to enhance placental redistribution in term infants: randomized control trial.

Unlabelled: The objective of the study was to compare the effect of umbilical cord milking (UCM) and delayed cord clamping (DCC) on hematological parameters (serum ferritin and hemoglobin) at 6 weeks of life in term neonates. It was a randomized controlled trail conducted at a teaching hospital in North India during August 2012 to August 2013. Babies born at >36 weeks of gestation were randomized in two groups, UCM and DCC (100 in each group).
