Antenatal corticosteroids and perinatal outcome in late fetal growth restriction: analysis of prospective cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate the role of antenatal administration of corticosteroids for fetal lung maturation on the short-term perinatal outcome of pregnancy complicated by late fetal growth restriction (FGR).

Methods

This cohort study was a secondary analysis of a multicenter prospective observational study, the TRUFFLE-2 feasibility study, conducted between 2017 and 2018 in 33 European perinatal centers. The study included women with a singleton pregnancy from 32 + 0 to 36 + 6 weeks of gestation with a fetus considered at risk for FGR, defined as estimated fetal weight (EFW) and/or fetal abdominal circumference < 10^th percentile, or umbilicocerebral ratio (UCR) ≥ 95^th percentile or a drop of more than 40 percentile points in abdominal circumference measure
