Abstract
Delayed umbilical cord clamping after 60 seconds improves outcomes for preterm infants born before 37 weeks. However, delayed clamping is neither reliably recorded nor routinely implemented across Australian hospitals. This study will investigate whether funded basic, accurate data collection and sharing between sites together with a funded, locally adapted quality improvement program increases the average number of seconds before cord clamping (NSCC) by 30 seconds, compared to funded basic, accurate data collection and sharing alone.
