ABSTARCTIntroductions: One of the most common cause of morbidity and mortality in premature infants is respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Several studies have shown that a single dose administration of antenatal corticosteroid therapy in women who are at high risk for premature delivery was associated with decreased incidence of RDS. The study aims to determine the effect of antenatal corticosteroid therapy on the incidence of RDS in prematurity in the Department of Child Health Hospital Dr. Soetomo.Methods: Analytic observational case-control design study was used for this research. Samples were taken from the medical records of RDS patients in premature baby and non-RDS with 36 samples in each group.Results: Antenatal corticosteroid therapy has effect in RDS incidence (p = 0.016). While the results of the odds ratio was 0.298 (with 95% CI 0.110 to 0.810), it means that premature infants with antenatal corticosteroid therapy has 0.298 times lower risk than those who were not given antenatal corticosteroid therapy.Conclusion: Antenatal corticosteroid therapy did not provide a direct relathionship to the incidence of respiratory distress syndrome in premature infants, but it a protective factor that can reduce the incidence of RDS in prematurity.

Introduction: Preterm delivery is the delivery before 37 weeks of gestation are completed. The incidence of preterm birth ranges from 5 to 15%. Aims of the study were to determine the average body weight, Apgar score after one and five minutes, and the frequency of the most common complications in preterminfants.Methods: The study involved a total of 631 newborns, of whom 331 were born prematurely Aims of this study were to (24th-37th gestational weeks-experimental group), while 300 infants were born in time (37-42 weeks of gestation-control group).Results: Average body weight of prematurely born infants was 2382 grams, while the average Apgar score in this group after the fi rst minute was 7.32 and 7.79 after the fifth minute. The incidence of respiratory distress syndrome was 50%, intracranial hemorrhage, 28.1% and 4.8% of sepsis. Respiratory distresssyndrome was more common in infants born before 32 weeks of gestation. Mortality of premature infants is present in 9.1% and is higher than that of infants born at term.Conclusions: Birth body weight and Apgar scores was lower in preterm infants. Respiratory distress syndrome is the most common fetal complication of prematurity. Intracranial hemorrhage is the second most common complication of prematurity. Mortality of premature infants is higher than the mortality of infants born at term birth.

Contemporary Context

Two hundred eighty-two patients at risk for premature delivery were included in this controlled trial of betamethasone therapy versus placebo. Of those included, 213 were in spontaneous premature labor. Ethanol or salbutamol infusions were used to delay delivery while steroid or placebo was given. Among those infants born to mothers who received betamethasone, there were no deaths with hyaline membrane disease or intraventricular hemorrhage. Respiratory distress syndrome occurred less often in those who received betamethasone than in controls (9% vs. 25.8%, p = 0.003), but this difference was primarily for those neonates born less than 32 weeks gestation who had been treated for at least 24 hours before delivery. This article reviews this hallmark study and provides contemporary context for its findings.
