Popis: True knot of the umbilical cord (TKUC) is found in 0.3–2.1% of pregnancies and is associated with an increased risk of adverse perinatal outcomes. A retrospective cohort study including all singleton pregnancies delivered from 2011 to 2019 was performed. Diagnosis of TKUC was made postnatally, immediately after delivery of the baby.
