Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM) Publications Committee. Implementation of the use of antenatal corticosteroids in the late preterm birth period in women at risk for preterm delivery. Am J Obstet Gynecol 2016;215:B13-15.


In an SMFM Statement, the following replaces the first item under “SMFM recommendations” (page B14, column 2):



  • 1.

    In women with a singleton pregnancy between 34 weeks 0 days and 36 weeks 6 days of gestation who are at high risk for preterm birth within the next 7 days (but before 37 weeks of gestation), we recommend treatment with betamethasone (2 doses of 12 mg intramuscularly 24 hours apart).



The text as published erroneously indicated that a single betamethasone dose was recommended. The online article at ajog.org has been corrected.
