The Incubator Channel · 8 Jan 2026 · 14 min
Summary
Ben and Daphna review a large national cohort study on antenatal corticosteroid exposure and survival in extremely preterm infants born at 21–24 weeks' gestation. They discuss biological plausibility, practice variation and the limits of retrospective data, and how the findings may inform counselling and shared decision-making at the margins of viability.
