Re: antenatal steroids From: Malcolm Griffiths (obsdoc@doctors.org.uk) Sun Feb 6 17:36:53 2000 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Malcolm Griffiths: "Re: Fetal Lung Maturity Question" Previous message: Malcolm Griffiths: "Re: profilactic cerclaje in multiple gestation" Maybe in reply to: james connerth: "antenatal steroids" I know one of the authors. I'm not convinced that they have go the balance right. They failed to mention the issue of steroids in twins and didn't consider the fact that one might have given prophylaxis weeks ago and the babe wasn't delivered and now the mum is in preterm labour/has severe preeclmapsia/etc. Personally I'd give a second course if time allowed. The evidence is probably against multiple course - not two courses weeks apart! -- Malcolm GRIFFITHS, Ob/Gyn E-mail obsdoc@doctors.org.uk Dept of Obs & Gynae +44(0)1582-497533 (Sec) 21, School Lane, Luton & Dunstable Hospital, +44(0)1582-497376 (Fax/me) Eaton Bray, Lewsey Road, +44(0)1525-222849 (Home) DUNSTABLE, LUTON, LU4 0DZ.. +44(0)1525-222643 (Fax) Beds., LU6 2DT.. >----- Original Message ----- From: james connerth <babydoc@apex.net> To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L <ob-gyn-l@forum.obgyn.net> Sent: Sunday, February 06, 2000 5:01 PM Subject: antenatal steroids > Editorial in current BMJ suggests only one course of steroids-they > utilize up to 36 wks.Large trials ongoing. > Next message: Malcolm Griffiths: "Re: Fetal Lung Maturity Question" Previous message: Malcolm Griffiths: "Re: profilactic cerclaje in multiple gestation" Maybe in reply to: james connerth: "antenatal steroids"

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.
