Betamethasone Exposure and Neonatal Respiratory Morbidity Among Late Preterm Births by Planned Mode of Delivery and Gestational Age
The absolute risk difference of neonatal respiratory morbidity between those exposed and those unexposed to late preterm antenatal steroids varies considerably by gestational age at presentation and planned mode of delivery. Because only communicating the relative risk reduction of antenatal steroids for respiratory morbidity may lead to an inaccurate perception of benefit, more patient-specific estimates of risk expected with and without treatment may inform shared decision making.
