"Recent studies have suggested weekly courses of antenatal corticosteroids result in improvement in the acute neonatal condition but have not supported long-term benefit. With greater understanding of the beneficial actions of corticosteroids on the fetal lung, the role for this therapy may expand. In addition to increased surfactant production and secretion, corticosteroids facilitate clearance of fetal lung fluid, as well as other maturational effects," wrote C.
