2019, European Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive BiologyCitation Excerpt :Monitoring of physical growth in three trials (follow up 3, 6 and up to 12 years old) showed no adverse long-term effects and found no evidence of impaired lung growth. [15]. To meta-analysis by Crowley et al. [13] in the UK with 12 randomized controlled trials and by Crowley [15] in USA with 15 randomized controlled trials, another meta-analysis added by Sinclair [16], with similar results. Therefore, in 1994, NIH sponsored a meeting entitled "Effects of corticosteroids for fetal maturation on perinatal outcomes" in 1994, in order to assess the available data on the prenatal treatment with ACS and develop a consensus, and concluded that corticosteroids reduces respiratory distress syndrome, intraventricular hemorrhage and mortality in preterm infants [5].
