Clinical Centers to Evaluate the Efficacy of Antenatal Steroid Therapy in the Prevention of Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome

摘要

As of February 29, 1980 33 months of active patient enrollment was concluded. There are a total of 96 mothers randomized into the study with 104 infants delivered. No complications have been identified that can be related particularly to the individuals within the study. There is an overall followup rate of approximately 80% at 18 months for those who are already eligible. No 36 month exams have been done yet. The incidence of RDS approximates 10% which is smaller to that seen in the non-randomized population. Now that enrollment is ended, all efforts will be aimed at keeping this current population active in the followup program.
