THE EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF MAGNESIUM SULPHATE FOR NEONATAL
NEUROPROTECTION IN PATIENTS WITH IMMINENT PRETERM DELIVERIES: EXPERIENCE …

Introduction Preterm infants are at great risk of neurological impairments. This study aimed
to evaluate what is the difference in short-and long-term neonatal outcome comparing …

Background: Preterm birth is one that occurs at< 37 weeks of gestation or less than 258 days
of gestation. WHO classifies premature infants into three categories, Extremely preterm (< …

Background: Globally, prematurity is a leading cause of death in children under the age of
five years and in almost all countries with reliable data, preterm birth rates are increasing …

Objective: To test the hypothesis that antenatal magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) has a short term
neuroprotective role in the early neonatal period, when given to women considered at risk …

Background Magnesium sulphate is currently recommended for neuroprotection of preterm
infants for women at risk of preterm birth at less than 30 weeks' gestation, based on high …

Aims: We aimed to demonstrate the effect of magnesium sulfate for fetal neuroprotection on
maternal and neonatal outcomes of pregnants delivered before 32 weeks.

Key content: The prevalence of preterm birth is increasing and owing to advances in
neonatal care, more infants are surviving. However, in parallel with this, the incidence of …
