Antenatal Corticosteroid Prophylaxis in Singleton and Multiple Pregnancies

ConclusionsIn this large cohort of preterm infants, both multiples and singletons treated with ANS had a lower risk of mortality, of severe IVH, and of composite outcome of IVH and death, both in the overall sample and in SGA infants. Although ANS effect was weaker in multiples, our results support current recommendations to administer ANS prophylaxis in multiple pregnancies at risk of preterm delivery.
