title: Thyrotropin releasing hormone and corticosteroids prior to preterm labour: a survey of current practice in nine European countries. European Union Antenatal TRH Network Steering Committee.
abstract: There is considerable variation in the use of cortisosteroids within Europe before possible preterm delivery. Thyrotropin releasing hormone is rarely used as synergistic treatment in most, but not all, European countries-presumably reflecting uncertainty about the effectiveness and safety of this agent.
