This review examines the efficacy of antenatal corticosteroids (ANS) in improving neonatal outcomes for preterm infants, analyzing data from over 8,000 babies. Key findings indicate that ANS significantly reduce neonatal mortality (31%), respiratory distress syndrome (34%), and the need for mechanical ventilation (32%) in high-income settings. However, optimal administration timing is critical, with maximum benefits observed when ANS are given 24-48 hours before delivery. The practice of administering ANS varies across hospitals and countries, raising concerns regarding adherence to evidence-based practices in neonatal care.

Summary 77% of women did not receive ANS or received ANS outside of thedesired administration-to-birth interval, i.e., 2 to 4days ANS associated with immediate and rapid decline inmortality
77% of women did not receive ANS or received ANS outside of thedesired administration-to-birth interval, i.e., 2 to 4days ANS associated with immediate and rapid decline inmortality Summary Under the assumption of a causal relationship, a simulation of ANS given 3 hours before delivery to infants who did not receiveANS -> their estimated decline in mortality would be26%

ANS may be effective even if given only hours beforedelivery meaning Infants of pregnant women at risk of imminent/immediate very preterm delivery may benefit from itsuse Conclusion
