Multiple Courses of Antenatal Corticosteroids for Preterm Birth Study
5 Year Follow-up
(MACS-5)

 

In Canada today, approximately 7% of infants are born preterm. Approximately half of these infants are exposed to multiple courses of ACS. A randomised controlled trial is under way to determine the effectiveness of this important antenatal treatment.

Recruitment for the main trial began in April 2001. The MACS-5 follow-up starts Summer 2006.
