UNLABELLED: To evaluate the effect of intact cord milking (I-UCM) compared to immediate cord clamping (ICC) on neurodevelopmental outcomes at seven years of age in very preterm infants. This prospective single-blind cohort study included children who were previously participated in a randomized controlled trial comparing I-UCM and ICC. At about 7 years of age, participants were administered the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition (Vineland-II) and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Fourth Edition (WISC-IV). A total of 31 children were included in the follow-up study. The mean age of participants was 6.4 ± 0.5 years. The mean gestational age at birth was 28.5 ± 1.7 weeks. There were no cases with grade ≥ 3 intraventriculary hemorrhage (IVH) in the present study cohort. Although the I-UCM group showed a trend toward higher median full-scale IQ, the difference was not statistically significant (p: 0.057). A significantly higher percentage of cases in the I-UCM group achived a full-scale IQ above 85 in the WISC-IV (p = 0.048). The mean of the "written language scaled score" subdomain among Vineland-II scores was found to be significantly higher in the I-UCM group. A significantly higher percentage of cases in the I-UCM group had a written language scaled score above 12 (p: 0.029). CONCLUSION: A comparison of I-UCM with ICC in preterm infants born at a mean age of 28 weeks and without severe IVH revealed that I-UCM did not result in long-term neurodevelopmental adverse outcomes. I-UCM even had positive effects in some subdomains of detailed neurodevelopmental tests. WHAT IS KNOWN: • Compared to immediate cord clamping, umbilical cord milking improves the short-term postnatal outcomes of very preterm infants. There is a lack of robust data regarding the long-term neurodevelopmental effects of umbilical cord milking in preterm infants. WHAT IS NEW: • Among very preterm infants without severe intraventricular hemorrhage, intact umbilical cord milking was not associated with long-term adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. Intact-umbilical cord milking even had positive effects in some subdomains of detailed neurodevelopmental tests.
未标注:为评估与即刻脐带结扎(ICC)相比,完整脐带挤血(I-UCM)对极早产儿7岁时神经发育结局的影响。这项前瞻性单盲队列研究纳入了先前参与比较I-UCM和ICC的随机对照试验的儿童。在大约7岁时,对参与者进行了《文兰适应行为量表》第二版(Vineland-II)和《韦氏儿童智力量表》第四版(WISC-IV)测试。共有31名儿童纳入随访研究。参与者的平均年龄为6.4±0.5岁。出生时的平均胎龄为28.5±1.7周。本研究队列中无≥3级脑室内出血(IVH)病例。虽然I-UCM组的全量表智商中位数有升高趋势,但差异无统计学意义(p:0.057)。I-UCM组在WISC-IV中全量表智商高于85的病例百分比显著更高(p = 0.048)。发现I-UCM组在Vineland-II评分中“书面语言量表得分”子领域的平均分显著更高。I-UCM组书面语言量表得分高于12的病例百分比显著更高(p:0.029)。 结论:对平均胎龄28周出生且无严重IVH的早产儿进行I-UCM与ICC的比较发现,I-UCM不会导致长期神经发育不良结局。I-UCM甚至在详细神经发育测试的某些子领域有积极作用。 已知信息:•与即刻脐带结扎相比,脐带挤血可改善极早产儿的短期产后结局。关于脐带挤血对早产儿长期神经发育影响的数据不足。 新发现:•在无严重脑室内出血的极早产儿中,完整脐带挤血与长期不良神经发育结局无关。完整脐带挤血甚至在详细神经发育测试的某些子领域有积极作用。
