About The Study: In this cohort study, exposure to antenatal corticosteroids (ACS) was associated with increased risks of infections in full-term children until age 21. In preterm children born before 34 weeks' gestation, no association between ACS and infections was found. To minimize the adverse effects of ACS treatment, more stringent criteria for ACS administration and better prediction tools for preterm birth are required.
