Objective To determine the acute effects of corticosteroids on the cardiovascular system in
growth‐restricted fetuses. Methods This was a prospective cohort study conducted at a …

Introduction Use of corticosteroids for fetal lung maturation has reduced the perinatal
mortality/morbidity from prematurity related complications. There is a paucity of studies …

Purpose To investigate hemodynamic effects after antenatal corticosteroids (ACS)
administration in appropriate for gestational age (AGA) and early growth restricted (GR) …

OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to study the hemodynamic effects of betamethasone on fetuses
with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) with absent or reversed end-diastolic (ARED) …

Clinical and experimental studies suggest that the growth-restricted fetus at increased risk of
impaired cardiovascular function that likely contributes to both increased mortality rate and …

Objective To study the effects of antenatal glucocorticoid (betamethasone) therapy on blood
flow velocity waveform patterns in the umbilical artery (UA), middle cerebral artery (MCA) …

Background: Corticosteroids are widely used in obstetrics due to their striking effect on
perinatal morbidity and mortality of premature neonates. Despite this, relatively few studies …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether persistently absent umbilical artery end-diastolic flow in
the intrauterine growth-restricted fetus after betamethasone administration is associated with …

OBJECTIVE: The objective was to characterize the effect of glucocorticoid treatment on fetal
organ blood flow and regional cerebral blood flow in normally grown fetuses and fetuses …

Objective To elucidate whether antenatal administration of corticosteroids in pregnancies
with threatened preterm labor affects growth velocity. Methods A cohort of 262 pregnancies …
