There was a concensus meeting (NIH, 1994), if I remember right. So far I know this is best metaanalysis concerning steroids and premature labour up to know. It steroids from the 24. to the 34. week of pregnancy. Steroids are said to decrease the degree of intraventicular haemorhage and RDS even in the very early weeks. Beyond the 34. week steroids are not recommended.
> And what can one expects giving them when labour have already It is proven there is an advantage for the infant if the interval from application of steroids to delivery is over 24 hours. But even it is shorter steroids are recommended. You can get the full-text of the mentioned document over the net. If you don't have access, contact me. Volker

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.
