Manuscript citation: Finn D, Ryan DH, Pavel A, O’Toole JM, Livingstone V, Boylan GB, et al. Clamping the umbilical cord in premature deliveries (CUPiD): neuromonitoring in the immediate newborn period in a randomized, controlled trial of preterm infants born at <32 weeks of gestation. J Pediatr. 2019;208:121–6.e2.

Do premature infants (<32 weeks gestation) undergoing delayed cord clamping (DCC) for 60 s or cord milking (cord stripped 3 times) or immediate cord clamping (ICC) have different 1-h quantitative measurement of electroencephalogram (EEG) and near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) at 6 and 12 h of life?
