Does antenatal Betamethasone improve neonatal outcome in late preterm births?

Background and Objective: Preterm birth is a public health problem and late preterm birth (deliveries between 34-36 weeks of gestation) accounts for 75% of all preterm births. Antenatal Betamethasone can reduce the severity of respiratory distress in preterm infants and its effect is accepted in 24-34 weeks of gestation. Our goal was to determine the neonatal outcomes of Betamethasone prescr...

Respiratory morbidity in late preterm births.

CONTEXT Late preterm births (340/7-366/7 weeks) account for an increasing proportion of prematurity-associated short-term morbidities, particularly respiratory, that require specialized care and prolonged neonatal hospital stays. OBJECTIVE To assess short-term respiratory morbidity in late preterm births compared with term births in a contemporary cohort of deliveries in the United States. ...
