Background : Neonatal Respiratory Disease Syndrome (NRDS) still become the most cause of neonatal’s mortality and morbidity especially in premature infants. Antenatal betamethasone has positive effect on preventing NRDS. Objectives : We sought to perform a systematic review of the use of bethametasone in women at risk of preterm delivery associated with the incidence of NRDS articles over the past fifty years. Methods: A systematic review was performed on PubMed and Scopus search term “Pediatrics” and “Pregnancy”. Results: Four articles identified between 2016 and 2019 specifically addressed for the use of betamethasone in women at risk of preterm delivery associated with the incidence of NRDS. A total 1800 patients were included in these four studies. The success rate range from 87,4% to 100%. Conclusion: Overall, the use of betamethasone in women at risk of preterm delivery decrease the incidence of respiratory distress syndrome in newborn significantly.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
