Abstract
The background, history, and physiologic basis for the use of corticosteroids to enhance fetal pulmonic maturation are presented. Clinical data relevant to this topic are discussed, and recommendations for the use of these agents are proposed. Finally, other pharmacologic agents that may become clinically useful for this indication are described.
