Brief Summary
OBJECTIVES:
I. Assess the efficacy and safety of antenatal administration of thyrotropin-releasing hormone to women in premature labor to improve pulmonary outcomes in preterm infants.
Detailed Description
PROTOCOL OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double blind, multicenter study. Patients are randomized to receive antenatal thyrotropin-releasing hormone or placebo.
Patients receive thyrotropin-releasing hormone or placebo intravenously over 20 minutes every 8 hours for 4 doses.
Infants are assessed for survival and chronic lung disease until day 28 after birth, and again at 36 postmenstrual weeks.
