A comprehensive understanding of the benefits and potential risks of progesterone therapy enables healthcare providers to develop targeted strategies aimed at improving perinatal outcomes. By optimizing the use of this treatment, we can promote safer and more effective interventions, ultimately enhancing the health and well\u2010being of both mothers and infants.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Objective<\/jats:title>\n The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of progesterone therapy in neonates.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Search Strategy<\/jats:title>\n A systematic review with meta\u2010analysis was performed using the electronic databases Cochrane Central, Embase, and PubMed, searching the following terms \u201cpregnancy prolongation\u201d and \u201cvaginal progesterone\u201d or \u201c17\u2010\u03b1\u2010hydroxyprogesteron\u201d.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Selection Criteria<\/jats:title>\n Randomized clinical trials were investigated to compare the use of progesterone with placebo or no intervention to prolong pregnancy and reporting neonatal outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Data Collection and Analysis<\/jats:title>\n The authors independently reviewed the titles, abstracts, and full texts based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, resolving any discrepancies through discussion. Data extraction and methodological quality assessment were conducted by each author using a standardized approach. Ten outcomes were assessed. The meta\u2010analysis calculations were performed using the meta package in Rstudio, version 4.2.2 (R Foundation for Statistical Computing).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Main Results<\/jats:title>\n \n We included 12 randomized studies with 1557 participants, of whom 888 (57.3%) were randomized to receive progesterone therapy. Neonates in the progesterone group had a lower risk of respiratory distress syndrome (risk ratio [RR], 0.61 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.43\u20130.87],\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u20090.01), sepsis (RR, 0.51 [95% CI, 0.27\u20130.96],\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.039), pneumonia (RR, 0.29 [95% CI, 0.11\u20130.74],\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u20090.01), retinopathy (RR, 0.38 [95% CI, 0.17\u20130.83],\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.015), and ventilatory assistance (RR, 0.65 [95% CI, 0.46\u20130.91],\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.012).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n
