does it affects maternal condition by any means, rather than its established effect on fetus
Hi,
Please refer to the following Cochrane review on this subject:
McDonald SJ, Middleton P, Dowswell T, Morris PS. Effect of timing of umbilical
cord clamping of term infants on maternal and neonatal outcomes. Cochrane
Database Syst Rev. 2013 Jul 11;7:CD004074. doi: 10.1002/14651858.CD004074.pub3.
Review. PubMed PMID: 23843134.
From the abstract of the review:
"Maternal outcomes: No studies in this review reported on maternal death or on severe maternal morbidity. There were no significant differences between early versus late cord clamping groups for the primary outcome of severe postpartum haemorrhage (risk ratio (RR) 1.04, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.65 to 1.65; five trials with data for 2066 women with a late clamping event rate (LCER) of ~3.5%, I(2) 0%) or for postpartum haemorrhage of 500 mL or more (RR 1.17 95% CI 0.94 to 1.44; five trials, 2260 women with a LCER of ~12%, I(2) 0%). There were no significant differences between subgroups depending on the use of uterotonic drugs. Mean blood loss was reported in only two trials with data for 1345 women, with no significant differences seen between groups; or for maternal haemoglobin values (mean difference (MD) -0.12 g/dL; 95% CI -0.30 to 0.06, I(2) 0%) at 24 to 72 hours after the birth in three trials"
