Abstract
BACKGROUND Umbilical cord clamping strategies at preterm birth have the potential to affect important health outcomes. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of deferred cord clamping, umbilical cord milking, and immediate cord clamping in reducing neonatal mortality and morbidity at preterm birth. METHODS We conducted a systematic review and individual participant data meta-analysis. We searched medical databases and trial registries (from database inception until Feb 24, 2022; updated June 6, 2023) for randomised controlled trials comparing deferred (also known as delayed) cord clamping, cord milking, and immediate cord clamping for preterm births (<37 weeks' gestation). Quasi-randomised or cluster-randomised trials were excluded. Authors of eligible studies were invited to join the iCOMP collaboration and share individual participant data. All data were checked, harmonised, re-coded, and assessed for risk of bias following prespecified criteria. The primary outcome was death before hospital discharge. We performed intention-to-treat one-stage individual participant data meta-analyses accounting for heterogeneity to examine treatment effects overall and in prespecified subgroup analyses. Certainty of evidence was assessed with Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation. This study is registered with PROSPERO, CRD42019136640. FINDINGS We identified 2369 records, of which 48 randomised trials provided individual participant data and were eligible for our primary analysis. We included individual participant data on 6367 infants (3303 [55%] male, 2667 [45%] female, two intersex, and 395 missing data). Deferred cord clamping, compared with immediate cord clamping, reduced death before discharge (odds ratio [OR] 0·68 [95% CI 0·51-0·91], high-certainty evidence, 20 studies, n=3260, 232 deaths). For umbilical cord milking compared with immediate cord clamping, no clear evidence was found of a difference in death before discharge (OR 0·73 [0·44-1·20], low certainty, 18 studies, n=1561, 74 deaths). Similarly, for umbilical cord milking compared with deferred cord clamping, no clear evidence was found of a difference in death before discharge (0·95 [0·59-1·53], low certainty, 12 studies, n=1303, 93 deaths). We found no evidence of subgroup differences for the primary outcome, including by gestational age, type of delivery, multiple birth, study year, and perinatal mortality. INTERPRETATION This study provides high-certainty evidence that deferred cord clamping, compared with immediate cord clamping, reduces death before discharge in preterm infants. This effect appears to be consistent across several participant-level and trial-level subgroups. These results will inform international treatment recommendations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Deferred (also known as delayed) cord clamping can improve survival of infants born preterm (before 37 weeks of gestation), but the optimal duration of deferral remains unclear. We conducted a systematic review and individual participant data network meta-analysis with the aim of comparing the effectiveness of umbilical cord clamping strategies with different timings of clamping or with cord milking for preterm infants. METHODS We searched medical databases and trial registries from inception until Feb 24, 2022 (updated June 6, 2023) for randomised controlled trials comparing cord clamping strategies for preterm infants. Individual participant data were harmonised and assessed for risk of bias and quality. Interventions were grouped into immediate clamping, short deferral (≥15 s to <45 s), medium deferral (≥45 s to <120 s), long deferral (≥120 s), and intact cord milking. The primary outcome was death before hospital discharge. We calculated one-stage, intention-to-treat Bayesian random-effects individual participant data network meta-analysis. This study was registered with PROSPERO, CRD42019136640. FINDINGS We included individual participant data from 47 trials with 6094 participants. Of all interventions, long deferral reduced death before discharge the most (compared with immediate clamping; odds ratio 0·31 [95% credibility interval] 0·11-0·80; moderate certainty). The risk of bias was low for 10 (33%) of 30 trials, 14 (47%) had some concerns, and 6 (20%) were rated as having a high risk of bias. Heterogeneity was low, with no indication of inconsistency. INTERPRETATION This study found that long deferral of clamping leads to reduced odds of death before discharge in preterm infants. In infants assessed as requiring immediate resuscitation, this finding might only be generalisable if there are provisions for such care with the cord intact. These results are based on thoroughly cleaned and checked individual participant data and can inform future guidelines and practice. FUNDING Australian National Health and Medical Research Council.

Abstract
Oxygen (O2) is crucial for both the development and treatment of one of the most important consequences of prematurity: bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). In fetal life, the hypoxic environment is important for alveolar development and maturation. After birth, O2 becomes a double-edged sword. While O2 is needed to prevent hypoxia, it also causes oxidative stress leading to a plethora of morbidities, including retinopathy and BPD. The advent of continuous O2 monitoring with pulse oximeters has allowed clinicians to recognize the narrow therapeutic margins of oxygenation for the preterm infant, but more knowledge is needed to understand what these ranges are at different stages of the preterm infant's life, including at birth, in the neonatal intensive care unit and after hospital discharge. Future research, especially in innovative technologies such as automated O2 control and remote oximetry, will improve the understanding and treatment of the O2 needs of infants with BPD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinicians favour low oxygen concentrations when resuscitating preterm infants immediately after birth despite inconclusive evidence to support this practice. Prospective meta-analysis (PMA) is a novel approach where studies are identified as eligible for inclusion in the meta-analysis before their results are known. AIMS To explore whether high (60%) or low (30%) oxygen is associated with greater efficacy and safety for the initial resuscitation (immediately after birth) of preterm infants born at <29 weeks' gestation. METHODS We will conduct a prospective meta-analysis (PMA) with individual participant data (IPD). We will perform a systematic search to identify ongoing RCTs including infants <29 weeks' gestation randomised to high (60%) or low (30%) oxygen for initial resuscitation after birth. IPD will be sought for all infants randomised for the purpose of meta-analysis. We will employ a one-stage random-effects approach to IPD meta-analysis. Potential heterogeneity and the differential effect of high or low oxygen will be explored through subgroup and interaction analyses. The primary outcome of this study is all-cause mortality prior to hospital discharge. There will be a follow-up analysis of neurodevelopmental outcomes once available. RESULTS/CONCLUSION The results of neonatal outcomes at hospital discharge are expected by 2025, and neurodevelopmental outcomes by 2027.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Internationally recognized guidelines recommend the judicious use of low oxygen (21-30%), titrated to peripheral oxygen saturation targets, for the initiation of resuscitation of very and extremely preterm infants (<32 weeks' gestation). However, despite more than 10 randomized controlled trials on this question, the ideal initial oxygen concentration for this group of vulnerable infants remains uncertain. AIMS This study aims to assess the effect of various initial oxygen concentrations on (1) all-cause mortality, chronic lung disease, intraventricular hemorrhage, and retinopathy of prematurity; and (2) reaching the prescribed oxygen saturation targets by 5 min after birth, in preterm infants requiring resuscitation. METHODS We will conduct a systematic review and network meta-analysis using individual participant data. Studies of preterm infants <32 weeks' gestation, randomized to initial oxygen concentration, will be included. We will systematically search medical databases and trial registries for eligible studies (published or unpublished). Records will be screened by two independent reviewers, with conflicts resolved by the inclusion of a third reviewer. Identified initial oxygen concentrations will be grouped into the following nodes: low (≤30%), intermediate (60%), and high (≥90%) oxygen. A two-step random-effects contrast-based network meta-regression will be calculated to compare and rank different oxygen concentrations. Analyses will be intention-to-treat, with the primary outcome of all-cause mortality. DISCUSSION This is the first individual participant data network meta-analysis of initial oxygen concentrations for the resuscitation of preterm infants. This novel approach may address long-standing uncertainty regarding optimal oxygen supplementation practice for the resuscitation of preterm infants <32 weeks' gestation.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to determine clinician opinion regarding oxygen management in moderate-late preterm resuscitation. METHODS An anonymous online questionnaire was distributed through email/social messaging platforms to neonatologists in 21 countries (October 2020-March 2021) via REDCap. RESULTS Of the 695 respondents, 69% had access to oxygen blenders and 90% had pulse oximeters. Respondents from high-income countries were more likely to have oxygen blenders than those from middle-income countries (72% vs. 66%). Most initiated respiratory support with FiO2 0.21 (43%) or 0.3 (36%) but only 45% titrated FiO2 to target SpO2 . Most (89%) considered heart rate as a more important indicator of response than SpO2 . Almost all (96%) supported the need for well-designed trials to examine oxygenation in moderate-late preterm resuscitation. CONCLUSION Most clinicians resuscitated moderate-late preterm infants with lower initial FiO2 but some cannot/will not target SpO2 or titrate FiO2 . Most consider heart rate as a more important indicator of infant response than SpO2 .Large and robust clinical trials examining oxygen use for moderate-late preterm resuscitation, including long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes, are supported amongst clinicians.
