2019, European Journal of Paediatric NeurologyCitation Excerpt :Antenatal corticosteroids enhance lung maturation and have been shown to decrease perinatal and neonatal deaths, respiratory distress syndrome, need for mechanical ventilation, early systemic infection, NEC, and IVH.19 While positive effects of prenatal corticosteroids on risk of intraventricular haemorrhage have been confirmed by multiple studies,20 the association with white matter damage is still controversial.21 We believe our findings may add useful data supporting the protective role of steroids on PWML.

2019, Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology CanadaCitation Excerpt :Même si le diagnostic précoce et la mise en place rapide d'interventions améliorent la neuroplasticité et le fonctionnement6, la PC ne se guérit pas; c'est pourquoi les mesures préventives efficaces sont d'une importance capitale. À ce jour, l'administration de corticostéroïdes est la seule intervention prénatale connue permettant de réduire le risque de PC chez les enfants nés avant 34 semaines18, 19. Deux études publiées dans les années 1980 ont montré que l'incidence des issues défavorables touchant le système nerveux central était plus faible chez des prématurés nés de mères prééclamptiques que chez des nouveau-nés du même âge gestationnel nés de mères non prééclamptiques20, 21.
No. 376-Magnesium Sulphate for Fetal Neuroprotection
2019, Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology CanadaCitation Excerpt :Though early diagnosis and intervention improves neuroplasticity and function,6 there is no known cure for CP, which makes effective preventive measures of primary importance. To date, corticosteroids are the only antenatal intervention identified to decrease CP risk among preterm infants at <34 weeks.18,19 In 2 studies published in the 1980s, preterm infants born to women with preeclampsia had a lower incidence of adverse central nervous system outcomes than gestational age-matched neonates born to mothers without preeclampsia.20,21
Who Is at Risk? High-Risk Infant Follow-up
2012, Newborn and Infant Nursing ReviewsCitation Excerpt :Most studies conducted on school age outcomes of preterm infants born between 1995 and 2005 did not account for higher cumulative steroid exposures and they varied on dose and duration of treatment of these patients. Specifically concerns about dexamethasone's association with increase risk for neurobehavioral impairments and CP highlighted the need for long-term follow-up of postnatal steroids.18–21 Bronchopulmonary dysplasia, a form of chronic lung disease (CLD), has often been associated with increased risk for morbidity and mortality.
