Clinical Trial Summary

The hypothesis of the study is that administration of antenatal steroid to women at high risk of preterm birth after 34 weeks of gestation would reduce the risk of respiratory complications, specifically Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) or Transient Tachypnea of the Newborn (TTN) in late preterm babies.
