Does area-based study identify risk factors associated with missed antenatal corticosteroid prophylaxis in women delivering preterm infants?
In a highly organised network of hospitals, neither level of care nor gestational age influenced prophylaxis. Timely arrival of women in hospital, better recognition of the imminence of delivery and tighter steroids administration guidelines are the most relevant targets to further increase prophylaxis.
EBV and parvovirus genomes are frequently found in bone marrow of RA patients. The presence of EBV genome was associated with a better clinical response to RTX. Thus, presence of EBV genome may predict clinical response to RTX.
