| 1 | In the 36 controls, gentamycin and dexamethasone was used as the irrigation fluid. | |
| 2 | Long-term use of corticosteroid medications, such as prednisone, cortisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone, is damaging to bone. | |
| 3 | Betamethasone and dexamethasone are comparable in reducing the rate of most major neonatal morbidities and mortality in preterm neonates. | |
| 4 | CONCLUSION: Betamethasone and dexamethasone are comparable in reducing the rate of most major neonatal morbidities and mortality in preterm neonates. | |
| 5 | The babies treated with hydrocortisone and dexamethasone had cerebellums that were smaller than those of normal newborns by 8 and 10 percent, respectively, the results showed. |
