Effectiveness of Antenatal Corticosteroids in reducing morbidities and mortality in Preterm neonates: Evidence from a Tertiary Level Hospital in Nepal

ACS was more frequently used in mothers of less than 34 weeks POG having some complications during pregnancy. Use of ACS in deliveries of less than 34 weeks POG was associated with reduced risk of RDS, NEC and need for Mechanical Ventilation along with decrease hospital stay and neonatal mortality. Strengthening national guidelines with recommendation for the use of ACS in mothers less than 34 weeks POG can avert deaths due to complications of prematurity and help save more newborns.

Abstract

ACS was more frequently used in mothers of less than 34 weeks POG having some complications during pregnancy. Use of ACS in deliveries of less than 34 weeks POG was associated with reduced risk of RDS, NEC and need for Mechanical Ventilation along with decrease hospital stay and neonatal mortality. Strengthening national guidelines with recommendation for the use of ACS in mothers less than 34 weeks POG can avert deaths due to complications of prematurity and help save more newborns.
