点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Both dexamethasone or betamethasone, given to women at risk of preterm birth substantially improve neonatal and child health. There are conflicting reports as to whether dexamethasone is better than betamethasone? This randomised trial will assess this. If dexamethasone is more beneficial, there will be fewer deaths and fewer disabled children. This will be of great importance for the care of women at risk of preterm birth, their children and health services in Australia and internationally.
