Delayed cord clamping during deliveries with meconium-stained amniotic fluid.

In this cohort study of deliveries affected with meconium, the perinatal factors that were significantly associated with non-performance of delayed cord clamping were primigravida, maternal diabetes, chorioamnionitis, rupture of membranes ≥18 h, assisted vaginal delivery, cesarean section, breech presentation, thick meconium, fetal distress and nonvigorous status of the newborn.
