Alpha Collaboration

An international collaboration of perinatal academics & clinical trialists Advancing Large collectively Prioritized trials of Health outcomes Assessment

[Alpha Collaboration @alphacollab]

New study in @ADC_BMJ examines how to balance precision and cost in assessing infant development during large-scale mortality trials. Key insights for researchers and policymakers. Full article here: https://t.co/83yroKU1dE

@drbretty @NeonatalUpdate Congrats on your team’s exciting work on improving the key intermediate outcomes of intubation success or extubation failure! Please highlight the need for international collaboration in trials that reliably address healthy survival and consider including this slide @williamotm

[NHMRC CTC @TrialsCentre]

@williamotm discusses the practice-changing results of the APTS cord clamping study and shares his expertise in newborn babies and the umbilical cord in this ABC Radio Perth interview with Andrea Webb.

"Aiming to wait for a minute or more before clamping the cord in very pre-term babies, led to a reduction in death or disability... a major advance that should be informing policy and practice." - @williamotm

[Alpha Collaboration @alphacollab]

Coming up at 3.20pm AEST @williamotm will be on Weekends with @AndreaGibbs discussing delayed cord clamping and the #APTS Trial // Listen on ABC Listen App, your local ABC website or on Channel 25 on your free to air TV

Will you help us save thousands more babies’ lives?

Please read about a proposed Global Register of Parent-Partners in Large Scale Perinatal Trials and answer 3 short questions anonymously. It should take less than 5 minutes.

An incredible impactful study that will prevent death and disability in preterm infants! Well done @alphacollab @Sydney_Uni @LancetChildAdol

[University of Sydney @Sydney_Uni]

A minute’s delay could make a lifetime of difference!🤰

👉 New research, led by @Sydney_Uni, has found that waiting 60 seconds or more to clamp the #umbilical cord of very #PrematureBabies at birth has significant benefits and could save an additional 1 in 20 babies!

And a huge impact over the next decade.

[Alpha Collaboration @alphacollab]

50,000 more very premature babies will survive without major disability in the next 10 years - if caregivers worldwide simply delay cord clamping for 60 seconds or more in babies who do not need immediate resuscitation. Read via @LancetChildAdol https://t.co/WHKIPz9aVI

[Alpha Collaboration @alphacollab]

That's 13 babies every day.

Placental Transfusion Study. Get access to the report https://t.co/WHKIPz9aVI #premmies

[The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health @LancetChildAdol]

In very #preterm infants, delayed cord clamping (at least 60 s, w/o milking) reduced the risk of death or major disability at 2 years by 17%, compared with immediate cord clamping
