Summary

This study tested two medicines, nifedipine and magnesium sulfate, to see which is better at delaying preterm labor in pregnant women between 32 and 36 weeks. The goal was to postpone delivery for at least 48 hours to allow steroids to help the baby's lungs mature. The trial involved 264 women and measured how many avoided giving birth within 48 hours, along with other health outcomes for both mothers and babies.
