Antenatal corticosteroid therapy in late preterm delivery: A nationwide population‐based retrospective study in Taiwan

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Mar 03, 2021

Liang FW, Tsai HF, Kuo PL, et al. - This population‐based retrospective study was undertaken to determine if antenatal corticosteroid therapy improves neonatal and maternal outcomes in late preterm delivery. Between 2004 and 2011, the authors analyzed all births at risk for late preterm deliveries in Taiwan. For every birth at risk for late preterm delivery, five controls randomly matched by maternal and gestational ages, and birth weight were involved. The results of 5,745 women who were given corticosteroids between 34 weeks 0 days and 36 weeks 6 days of gestation were contrasted to those of 28,135 untreated controls. Findings suggested that antenatal corticosteroid therapy in women at risk of late preterm delivery can significantly lessen the need for respiratory support and glucose supply, and respiratory complication risk in neonates.
