Summary

This study examined how the steroid betamethasone passes from a pregnant woman to her unborn baby and whether that affects the baby's risk of developing a serious lung condition called hyaline membrane disease. Researchers enrolled 127 pregnant women who received the steroid to prevent lung problems in their premature infants. The goal was to better understand the relationship between drug levels and newborn breathing issues.
