Abstract

Anemia and neonatal jaundice are major contributors to infant mortality. This study investigates the effects of delayed umbilical cord clamping on neonatal hemoglobin levels and jaundice. Using a quasi-experimental posttest-only control design, 101 newborns were sampled and divided into immediate clamping (<3 minutes) and delayed clamping (>3 minutes) groups. Hemoglobin levels were measured within 24 hours, and jaundice was assessed on days 4-7. Results showed that delayed clamping significantly increased hemoglobin levels (P = 0.000) and reduced jaundice incidence (P = 0.010). The findings suggest that delayed clamping improves early infant health outcomes and should be adopted in health facilities. Highlight: Delayed clamping improves hemoglobin, reduces jaundice in newborns. Quasi-experimental design compares immediate vs. delayed cord clamping effects. Adopting delayed clamping enhances early infant health outcomes. Keyword: Anemia, neonatal jaundice, delayed cord clamping, hemoglobin levels, infant health
