Abstract:
The rate of antenatal corticosteroid application in extremely preterm infants is generally increasing.Although a large number of clinical trials have demonstrated that antenatal corticosteroids significantly reduce mortality and improve prognosis in extremely preterm infants, their application rates still vary widely among different countries and gestational age groups, and the applicability and safety of the clinical applications are controversial.In the treatment of extremely preterm infants in China, the clinical application of antenatal corticosteroids is not widespread.The current situation of antenatal corticosteroid application in extremely preterm infants at home and abroad is reviewed to provide a theoretical basis for the application of antenatal corticosteroid in extremely preterm infants in China.
