Antenatal Corticosteroid Treatment During the Late-Preterm Period and Neonatal Outcomes for Twin Pregnancies.

ABSTRACT: Antenatal corticosteroid treatment of individuals with singletons at risk for delivery during the late-preterm period has been academically recommended. However, the evidence on the use of antenatal corticosteroid treatment for twins at risk for delivery during the late-preterm period is still lacking. To evaluate whether antenatal corticosteroid treatment during the late-preterm period in twin pregnancies was associated with a lower risk of newborn morbidity. This retrospective cohort study of twin pregnancies delivered from February 1, 2013, to September 30, 2020, in a university-affiliated hospital in China included 1974 individuals with twin pregnancies who were at risk for late preterm birth (34 weeks and 0 days to 36 weeks and 6 days of gestation). Data were analyzed from June 30 to
