The effect of maternal body mass index on neonatal outcome in women receiving a single course of antenatal corticosteroids

Objective The aim of this study was to determine the effect of maternal body mass index on the incidence of neonatal prematurity morbidities in those who receive corticosteroids. Study Design This was a secondary analysis of a trial of corticosteroids in women at risk for preterm birth. Women receiv...
