First seen Jan 06, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 21 times
Summary
This study looks at how a medicine called dexamethasone, given during pregnancy to prevent a condition called congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), affects children's thinking and memory. Researchers compared children who were exposed to the drug before birth with those who were not. The goal is to understand if the medicine causes any learning or memory problems, and whether its benefits outweigh the risks.
