The author wishes to make the following corrections to this paper []:
The author has made an error in the parameters of the row “PCI-Trial” in Table 2. Table 2, and the paragraph describing Table 2, need to be corrected.
Accordingly, (1)
Table 2.
Ongoing or planned trials of neonatal resuscitation.
Table 2.
Ongoing or planned trials of neonatal resuscitation.
| Study | Proposed N | GA (weeks) | Intervention | Time of Cord Clamping, Control Arm | Time of Cord Clamping Intervention Arm | Primary Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| VentFirst | 940 | 23–28 | CPAP 30–120 s | 30–60 s | 120 s | IVH |
| Nep-Cord 3 | 231 | 37–41 | Resuscitation if needed | <60 s | 180 s | SpO2, HR, and Apgar scores in first 10 min |
| Baby DUCC | 120 | 32–41 | Resuscitation if needed | Immediate cord clamping (duration not specified) | Until 1 minute after CO2 detector change or 5 min | Heart Rate at 60 and 120 s |
| ABC2 | 660 | 24–31 | Resuscitation if needed | 30–60 s | Until stable (approx. 4 min) | Intact Survival (survival without grade 2 ivh or nec) |
| Nevill and Meyers | 120 | 23–31 | Start CPAP and or PPV at 15 s until 60 s | 60 s | 60 s | Need for blood transfusion |
| PCI-Trial | 202 | 23–31 | Resuscitation if needed | 30–60 s | 3 min | Composite outcome of severe IVH, BPD, and death |
should be replaced with:

(2) Lastly, Presti et al. are proposing a multicenter trial (PCI-Trial, NCT02671305) comparing intact umbilical cord milking to delayed cord clamping for 3 min with assistance when needed in premature infants <32 weeks. Their primary outcome is a composite outcome of severe IVH, BPD, and death with a sample size of 202 infants.

(3) Presti et al. completed a pilot feasibility study comparing 3 min delay with resuscitation when needed to intact umbilical cord milking four times. Infants with delayed cord clamping had a higher 5 min Apgar, but a lower admission temperature [16].
