Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
For newly born babies, especially those in need of intervention at birth, actions taken during the first minute after birth, the so-called "Golden Minute", can have important implications for long-term outcomes. Both delivery room handling, including identification of maternal and infant risk factors and provision of effective resuscitation interventions, and antenatal care decisions regarding antenatal steroid administration and mode of delivery, are important and can affect outcomes. Anticipating risk factors for neonates at high risk of requiring resuscitation can decrease time to resuscitation and improve the prognosis. Following a review of maternal and fetal risk factors affecting newborn resuscitation, we summarize the current recommendations for delivery room handling of the newborn. This includes recommendations and rationale for the use of delayed cord clamping and cord milking, heart rate assessment [including the use of electrocardiogram (ECG) electrodes in the delivery room], role of suctioning in newborn resuscitation, and the impact of various ventilatory modes. Oxygenation should be monitored by pulse oximetry. Effects of oxygen and surfactant on subsequent pulmonary outcomes, and recommendations for provisions of appropriate thermoregulatory support are discussed. Regular teaching of delivery room handling should be mandatory.
