The aim of the Prospective Observational Trial to Optimize Pediatric Health in IUGR (PORTO) Study was to evaluate the optimal management of fetuses with EFW<10th centile. The use of corticosteroids to promote fetal lung maturation is well established in clinical practice with the optimal timing of administration between 48 hours and 7 days of delivery. The objective of this analysis was to investigate the appropriate use and effectiveness of steroid administration in the PORTO cohort.
