Nimbalkar 2014.

Methods	Randomized controlled trial.
Participants	100 healthy full‐term or late preterm infants mean GA 37.7 + 1.35 weeks, birthweight 2605.6 + 419.8 g and their mothers delivering vaginally at Shree Krishna Hospital in Karamsad, North India. Inclusion criteria: stable with birthweight > 1800 g, vaginal delivery. Exclusion criteria: cesarean section, in need of resuscitation at birth, congenital malformations.
Interventions	1) In the SSC group (n = 50), initial care was performed under a radiant warmer. SSC began 30 min. to 1‐hour post birth and continued for 24 hours with a minimum of interruptions. 2) Infants in the control group (n = 50) received the same care as the SSC group except that they were dressed, head covered with a cap and back by a blanket when they were returned to their mothers. The postpartum maternity care wards were not climate controlled.
Outcomes	HR, axillary temperature, episodes of hypothermia.
Notes
Risk of bias
Bias	Authors' judgement	Support for judgement
Random sequence generation (selection bias)	Low risk	Randomization was done using web based software (WINPEPI).
Allocation concealment (selection bias)	Low risk	Selection cards were sealed in opaque envelopes. Mothers signed an informed consent and then were randomized to groups.
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) All outcomes	High risk	Participants and personnel could not be blind to group assignment.
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All outcomes	High risk	Outcome data (axillary temperature, HR, episodes of hypothermia) were collected during the intervention period so the assessors could not be blind to group assignment.
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes	Low risk	100 infants were randomized to groups (50 in each group) and data from all infants was analyzed.
Selective reporting (reporting bias)	Low risk	No outcome data were provided for HR except to state in the abstract that the HR was normal in both groups, however, the focus of the study was on incidence of hypothermia.
Other bias	Low risk	Baseline clinical characteristics of the 2 groups (mean GA, birthweight, HR, temperature, incidence of low birthweight) were similar in the 2 groups.
