Contributions of authors
For the protocol Alexandros Sotiriadis (AS) prepared the first draft and revised it in response to editorial comments. George Makrydimas (GM) and John PA Ionannidis (JI) commented on the drafts.
For this review, AS and GM assessed potential studies. Stefania Papatheodorou (SP) and AS extracted the data, entered it into RevMan, assessed studies for risk of bias, and tabulated the results. All authors contributed in preparation of the review.
Declarations of interest
None known.

Differences between protocol and review
The original outcome "Admission to the neonatal special care unit or above" was split into a primary outcome (Admission to neonatal special care for respiratory morbidity (all levels of care or intensive care unit (NICU))) and a secondary outcome (Admission to neonatal special care for any indication (all levels of care or intensive care unit (NICU))). This was done because, in the case of non‐blinded trials, there is a possibility of bias, as infants in the treatment group may have been less likely to have had their reason for admission classified as “respiratory” because they were known to have received corticosteroids. Furthermore, special care was split into two categories "special care ‐ all levels" and "special care ‐ NICU", as different levels of care may reflect different severity of respiratory distress.
