入选标准

  • The population of interest is women with singleton or multiple pregnancy at 34+0 weeks to 36+5 weeks and a high probability of late preterm birth (which extends up to 36 weeks 6 days). High probability of late preterm birth is defined as birth expected between 12 hours and 7 days
  • Inclusion criteria (all to be met):
  • 1. Gestational age from 34 weeks 0 days to 36 weeks 5 days
  • 2. High probability of late preterm birth (up to 36+6 weeks) defined as birth expected between 12 hours and 7 days after randomization as a result of:
  • 2.1. Membrane rupture without preterm labour (where preterm labour is defined as at least 6 regular uterine contractions/ hr and at least one of the following: cervical dilatation of =3 cm or effacement =75%). OR
  • 2.2. Preterm labour with intact membranes, defined as at least 6 regular contractions/hr and at least one of the following: (i) cervix =3cm dilated or (ii) 75% effaced; OR
  • 2.3. Planned delivery by induction of labour or caesarean section between 24 hours and 7 days, as deemed necessary by the provider. An induction must be scheduled to start by 36+5 weeks at the latest, whereas a caesarean delivery must be scheduled by 36+6 weeks at the latest
  • 3. Singleton or multiple pregnancies, where the foetus/es (or at least one foetus in a multiple pregnancy) is/are confirmed alive by doppler or ultrasonography
  • 4. Women with no clinical signs of severe infection (as per obstetric care physician’s assessment)
  • 5. Women willing and able to provide consent (or if a minor, provides assent and guardian provides consent)

排除标准

  • 1. Ruptured membranes with cervix dilated =3 cm or effaced =75%, or with more than 6 contractions per hour (or both)
  • 2. Cervical dilation =8 cm with intact membranes
  • 3. Clinical suspicion or evidence of clinical chorioamnionitis or severe infection, as per obstetric care physician assessment
  • 4. Evidence of non-reassuring foetal status requiring immediate delivery
  • 5. Major or lethal congenital foetal anomaly identified
  • 6. No prior ultrasound-based estimate of gestational age available and immediate ultrasound examination is not possible
  • 7. Any systemic corticosteroid use during the current pregnancy (outside of trial)
  • 8. Unwilling or unable to provide consent or assent (including due to active labour)
  • 9. Currently a participant in another clinical trial related to maternal and neonatal health, or previously participated in any ACTION trial
  • 10. Any other clinical indication where the treating clinician considers corticosteroids to be contraindicated
