Abstract
Our results suggest that long-term ritodrine tocolysis underlines the development of cerebral palsy. Further assessments of the effect of ritodrine on fetal circulation and nervous system are required. Moreover, possible alternatives to systemic postnatal steroids are needed, and carbon dioxide levels should be more strictly controlled.
