Significantly fewer infants in the rescue antenatal steroid group required >= 30% supplemental oxygen (13% vs 29%, p<0.05) or >= 40% oxygen (9% vs 23%, p<0.05) compared to placebo, demonstrating clinical translation of improved respiratory compliance.
| Effect size | 13% versus 29% requiring >= 30% oxygen |
| Comparator | Placebo (identical-appearing injections containing 25 mg cortisone acetate) |
| Effect summary | improvement; 13% versus 29% requiring >= 30% oxygen |
