Unit of Obstetrics and Gynecology, "Paolo Giaccone" Hospital, Department of Health Promotion, Mother and Child Care, Internal Medicine and Medical Specialties (PROMISE), University of Palermo, 90127, Palermo, Italy.

Objective: Antenatal magnesium sulfate has been reported to reduce the risk of neurological impairment in fetuses born to women at risk of preterm labor. However, the evidence to support its use is conflicting. We conducted this meta-analysis to assess the efficacy and safety of magnesium sulfate in women at risk of preterm labor as new research is available from RCTs giving insights into MgSO4 treatment among differing gestational age groups.

J Pediatr

November 2024

Newborn Services and Newborn Research, Royal Women's Hospital, Melbourne, Australia; Department of Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Newborn Health, The University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia; Department of Clinical Sciences, Murdoch Children's Research Institute, Melbourne, Australia.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study evaluates if major management guidelines for extremely preterm infants are effectively applicable to those born before 25 weeks' gestation by reviewing three significant sets of guidelines and their referenced studies.
  • - Out of 519 studies analyzed, only about 14.5% of infants were under 25 weeks, with a significant portion of the research, 37.8%, not including any infants from this critical group.
  • - The findings conclude that infants born before 25 weeks gestation are underrepresented in the data driving clinical guidelines, highlighting the need for more focused research on this vulnerable population.
