Re: PROM and steroids

2- prom at 30 weeks. Is everyone using weekly steroids or just one course?

The RCOG recently circulated guidelines for the use of corticosteroids which came down against the use of repeated courses in general. They have also recommended the use of steroids up until 36 weeks. I know they are guidelines but I would be interested to know if they have influenced practice in the UK (I see that Malcolm Griffiths was advocating weekly repeats...) and what obstetricians elsewhere think about them.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
