Risk of neonatal morbidity in infants with positive fetal lung maturity

Neonatal outcome	Adjusted odds ratio (95% CI)^a
Composite adverse neonatal outcome^b	3.66 (1.48–9.09)
Delivery room interventions: oxygen or more	1.43 (0.77–2.66)
Hypoglycemia	3.95 (1.76–8.85)
Phototherapy	6.67 (1.52–29.18)
Sepsis evaluation	2.72 (0.95–7.81)
Treatment with antibiotics	4.23 (0.55–32.69)

The risk of neonatal morbidity in infants born at <39 weeks with documented fetal lung maturity, compared to the reference group born at 39 0/7 to 40 6/7 weeks’ gestation is shown.

CI, confidence interval.

Adjusted for hypertensive disease, diabetes mellitus, birthweight of the infant, use of antenatal steroids, and presence of labor before delivery;

Consists of neonatal intensive care admission, phototherapy, antibiotic treatment, intravenous fluids for hypoglycemia, or gavage feeding.
