Respiratory support showed no clear difference in inotropic support for hypotension compared with no respiratory support before cord clamping (low certainty).
Respiratory support showed no clear difference in mortality ≤2 years after hospital discharge compared with no respiratory support before cord clamping (low certainty).
Respiratory support showed no clear difference in peak haematocrit compared with no respiratory support before cord clamping (moderate certainty).
Respiratory support showed no clear difference in blood transfusion during neonatal admission compared with no respiratory support before cord clamping (moderate certainty).
Respiratory support showed no clear difference in phototherapy for hyperbilirubinaemia compared with no respiratory support before cord clamping (moderate certainty).
Respiratory support showed no clear difference in intraventricular haemorrhage (of any grade) compared with no respiratory support before cord clamping (low certainty).
It is very uncertain whether respiratory support changes severe intraventricular haemorrhage grade 3 or 4 compared with no respiratory support before cord clamping (very low certainty).
It is very uncertain whether non‐invasive respiratory support changes need for mechanical ventilation compared with supplemental oxygen or no treatment (very low certainty).
It is very uncertain whether non‐invasive respiratory support changes all‐cause mortality compared with supplemental oxygen or no treatment (very low certainty).
