Dexamethasone for Preterm Labour — PTL  

Prematurity Clinical Trial

Official title:
Dexamethasone Dosing Interval: 12 or 24 Hours Apart? A Randomized,Clinical Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators sought to determine whether the incidence of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in preterm fetuses is similar with 12- vs 24-hour dosing interval of dexamethasone.

Clinical Trial Description

The administration of glucocorticoids to accelerate fetal lung maturity in patients with preterm delivery plays an important role for obstetrics and neonatal care. Many studies have shown that maternal administration of glucocorticoids has a significant beneficial effect in decreasing the incidence of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in infants delivered at 28-34 weeks of gestation. ;

Study Design

Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Prevention
