Associations of Antenatal Corticosteroids With Neurodevelopment in Children Aged 27–30 Months: A Population‐Based Cohort Study
In early childhood, ACS exposure was associated with statistically significantly reduced neurodevelopmental concerns in children born at 28-33 weeks' gestation, and with statistically significantly increased neurodevelopment concerns in children born at 34-36 weeks' gestation. However, the effect sizes of these associations were small. No independent associations were found between ACS exposure and neurodevelopment in term-born children.
