Clinical Trial Summary

A Cochrane systematic review has confirmed that fetal exposure to magnesium sulphate given before preterm birth has a neuroprotective role. This review also showed a significant reduction in the rate of gross motor dysfunction in early childhood. Early Preterm birth (< 34+0 weeks) and very low birthweight (< 1,500 g) are the principal risk factors for cerebral palsy. Multiple pregnancy accounts for over 10% of preterm births and has a higher incidence of cerebral palsy than singleton pregnancy (twins have 7 times and triplets 47 times the risk of cerebral palsy compared with singletons).


Clinical Trial Description

Many of these patients come or get diagnosed as eminent preterm delivery very soon before the real delivery happens and are not able to complete the recommended therapy of loading and maintenance strategy for at least complete 4 hours before delivery. Till now, there is a gap and lack of knowledge regarding the value of loading dose only as sufficient and effective strategy for neuroprotection compared to full therapy, which needs more health costs, longer monitoring and carries more risk for the patients. ;
