S100-alarmins, antenatal corticosteroids and the risk of late-onset sepsis in preterm infants: A prospective cohort study
Our data suggest that aCS administration affects the risk of LOS in preterm infants in dependence of the timing of administration by influencing the infant's S100A8/A9 levels. This underlines the importance of optimal timing of aCS facing imminent preterm birth.
