Study leader Professor Caroline Crowther from the University of Adelaide's Discipline of Obstetrics and Gynaecology says the initial results of the trial showed that repeat doses of corticosteroids reduced breathing and other respiratory problems in the premature babies.There had been concern however that such treatments could inhibit the babies' later growth and development.
"Our new results show that at two years old the children born to mothers who were given repeat corticosteroids were no more likely to have health or development problems than those born to women who weren't given the repeat doses," says Professor Crowther, who is based at Adelaide's Women's and Children's Hospital.

"Until now there has been a lack of high quality evidence, from well-designed, large randomised clinical trials, assessing the efficacy and safety of repeat doses of betamethasone given to women at ongoing risk of very preterm birth, and no reports on the health of the children later," Prof Crowther says.
