Steroids before birth may alter Baby's blood counts
NCT ID NCT07358845
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether steroids given to pregnant women before a premature delivery change the baby's blood counts. Researchers observed over 1000 premature infants and compared their blood results based on when and how much steroid the mother received. The goal was to understand these effects, not to test a new treatment.
