Antenatal Steroid Administration for Premature Neonates in California.

The article offers information about a study on antenatal steroid administration for premature neonates in California. Researchers evaluated risk factors for premature neonates not taking antenatal steroids in a population-based cohort and analyzed whether the gains of a quality-improvement collaborative project on antenatal steroid administration were sustained long-term. It was found that many eligible mothers do not take antenatal steroids and that quality-improvement initiatives to improve antenatal steroid administration can target high-risk groups.
