Antenatal corticosteroids is associated with better postnatal growth outcomes of very preterm infants: A national multicenter cohort study in China

S. Yuan, S. He, et al.

This national multicenter cohort study in China reveals that antenatal corticosteroids significantly enhance postnatal growth outcomes in very preterm infants. Conducted by notable researchers in neonatology, the study underscores the critical need for improved administration rates of corticosteroids and standardized nutritional practices to promote better health for these vulnerable infants.

Abstract
This national multicenter cohort study in China investigated the association between antenatal corticosteroids (ACS) and postnatal growth outcomes in very preterm infants (VPIs). The study found that ACS, particularly complete ACS, was associated with improved enteral nutrition, faster weight growth, less decline in weight Z-scores, and a lower incidence of extrauterine growth restriction (EUGR). These findings highlight the importance of increasing ACS administration rates and implementing standardized nutrition guidelines for VPIs.
