This research aims to examine the effects of late preterm exposure to antenatal corticosteroids on pulmonary outcomes in children.
Analyzed children aged 6 years or older
Focused on late preterm exposure to betamethasone
Assessed rates of wheezing and other respiratory outcomes
Lower rates of wheezing or whistling in the chest were observed
No differences in other respiratory outcomes were found
Abstract
Among children aged 6 years or older, late preterm antenatal exposure to betamethasone was associated with lower rates of wheezing or whistling in the chest but no differences in other respiratory outcomes.
