Evaluation of the Effect of Early-Onset Steroid Treatment in the COVID-19-Positive Pregnant Women on Pregnancy Outcomes
No death was also observed with early-onset treatment. Early-onset treatment may be beneficial for fewer hospitalizations, fewer ICU stays, and less mechanical ventilation requirement in pregnant women with COVID-19. In addition, with early treatment, the total number of steroid administration days was reduced, which is important in terms of reducing the risk of side effects.
