Assessing the effectiveness of a single-dose antenatal corticosteroid in reducing neonatal respiratory morbidity using propensity score approaches

Background: Respiratory disorders remain to be one of most common causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality among premature neonates. Antenatal corticosteroids (ACS) have been known to accelerate lung maturation and promote production of surfactant to reduce the incidence of neonatal respirato...
