However, if preterm birth is expected within 18\u00a0h, prenatal corticosteroids should still be administered. One course of corticosteroids includes two doses of betamethasone acetate\/phosphate 12\u00a0mg IM 24\u00a0h apart, or two doses of dexamethasone phosphate 12\u00a0mg IM 24\u00a0h apart. In women in whom preterm birth is expected within 72\u00a0h and who have had one course of corticosteroids more than a week previously, one single additional course of prenatal corticosteroids could be given at risk of imminent delivery. Prenatal corticosteroids should not be offered routinely to women in whom late preterm birth between 34 and 36\u00a0weeks is anticipated. In addition, prenatal corticosteroids should not be given routinely before cesarean delivery at term. Neither should prenatal corticosteroids be given \u201cjust in case\u201d. Instead, prenatal steroid administration should be reserved for women for whom preterm birth is expected within no more than 7\u00a0days, based on the woman's symptoms or an accurate predictive test.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ijgo.13836","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,14]],"date-time":"2021-09-14T09:25:16Z","timestamp":1631611516000},"page":"26-30","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":59,"title":["FIGO good practice recommendations on the use of prenatal corticosteroids to improve outcomes and minimize harm in babies born preterm"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"155","author":[{"given":"Jane","family":"Norman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Science Faculty Office University of Bristol Bristol UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrew","family":"Shennan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Women and Children\u2019s Health King\u2019s College London UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bo","family":"Jacobsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Institute of Clinical Science Sahlgrenska Academy University of Gothenburg Gothenburg Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Sahlgrenska University Hospital Gothenburg Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Genetics and Bioinformatics Domain of Health Data and Digitalization Institute of Public Health Oslo Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sarah J.","family":"Stock","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NINE Edinburgh BioQuarter University of Edinburgh Usher Institute Edinburgh UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"the FIGO Working Group for Preterm Birth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_13_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.50.4.515"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1995.03520290065031"},{"issue":"12","key":"e_1_2_13_4_1","first-page":"CD004454","article-title":"Antenatal corticosteroids for accelerating fetal lung maturation for women at risk of preterm birth","author":"McGoldrick E","year":"2020","journal-title":"Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_5_1","unstructured":"Excellence NIfHaC.Preterm labor and birth.2015."},{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_2_13_6_1","first-page":"CD004454","article-title":"Antenatal corticosteroids for accelerating fetal lung maturation for women at risk of preterm birth","author":"Roberts D","year":"2017","journal-title":"Cochrane Database Syst Rev"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa1516783"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2020.3937"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-9378(95)90210-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S2352-4642(19)30292-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamapediatrics.2017.0602"},{"issue":"7","key":"e_1_2_13_12_1","first-page":"CD003935","article-title":"Repeat doses of prenatal corticosteroids for women at risk of preterm birth for improving neonatal health outcomes.
