Over the last few years, very-low-birthweight
(VLBW) infants below 1500 g often received dexamethasone
prophylactically to avoid development
of chronic lung disease. Several randomised studies
had shown that dexamethasone improved lung
function and reduced length of ventilation and need
for oxygen [1—3]. Short-term adverse effects of
dexamethasone therapy included hyperglycemia,
hypertension, cardiac hypertrophy, gastrointestinal
bleeding, sepsis, osteopenia, and growth retardation
[4,5]. These adverse effects were usually
transient and tolerated because the benefit of
improving the respiratory situation seemed to be
more important for long-term outcome.
