null
There was no significant difference in functional residual capacity between rescue antenatal steroid and placebo groups (24.8 vs 22.0 mL/kg, p=0.19), suggesting structural lung changes from initial AS persist longer than biochemical surfactant effects.
| Effect size | 24.8 versus 22.0 mL/kg |
| CI | adjusted 95% CI for difference: -1.40 to 6.62 |
| Comparator | Placebo (identical-appearing injections containing 25 mg cortisone acetate) |
| Effect summary | null; 24.8 versus 22.0 mL/kg; CI: adjusted 95% CI for difference: -1.40 to 6.62 |
