Effect of antenatal magnesium sulphate on MRI biomarkers of white matter development at term equivalent age: The magnum study

Magnesium sulphate given to women immediately prior to very preterm birth protects the perinatal brain, so fewer babies die or develop cerebral palsy. How magnesium sulphate exerts these beneficial effects remains uncertain. The aim of the MagNUM Study was to assess the effect of exposure to antenat...

Zusammenfassung:Magnesium sulphate given to women immediately prior to very preterm birth protects the perinatal brain, so fewer babies die or develop cerebral palsy. How magnesium sulphate exerts these beneficial effects remains uncertain. The aim of the MagNUM Study was to assess the effect of exposure to antenatal magnesium sulphate on MRI measures of brain white matter microstructure at term equivalent age. Nested cohort study within the randomised Magnesium sulphate at 30 to
