Summary
In women at 26 to 30 weeks gestation and who are risk for threatened early birth, who have
not had their baby by 14 or more days after being given a single course of antenatal
corticosteroids (ACS), do repeated courses of ACS every 14 days until 33 weeks' gestational
age lower the risk of illness or death in babies compared to repeated courses of placebo.
Children are assessed at 2 years and 5 years for neurodevelopmental impairment.
