Multiple courses of antenatal corticosteroids for preterm birth study: 2-year outcomes. Pediatrics, 126(5):e1045-e1055.
Multiple courses of prenatal corticosteroid therapy, given every 14 days, did not increase or decrease the risk of death or neurologic impairment at 18 to 24 months of age, compared with a single course of prenatal corticosteroid therapy. Continued follow-up monitoring of these children is necessary to assess neurobehavioral function, school performance, and possible susceptibility to disease.
