ABSTRACT
Antenatal corticosteroids (ACS) have been used clinically for more than half a century. They effectively reduce the incidence of preterm-related complications, such as neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS). Based on the significant beneficial effect in singleton pregnancies, several international guidelines recommend that ACS for twin pregnancies refer to their singleton pregnancies protocol. However, the prevention effect of ACS on NRDS in twin pregnancy is inconsistent. This review summarizes the effects of ACS on the prevention of NRDS in twin pregnancy to provide a reference for clinical management and further study.
