Table 4. Absence of significance of difference in neonatal outcome when controlling for mode of delivery and steroid administration.

Note: The significance is approached in the 1,500–1,999 g cohort and this difference in outcome is driven by the increased rate of respiratory distress syndrome noted in the neonates delivered by cesarean delivery within that birth weight category (Table 3).
