The Effects of Different Types of Steroids on Clinical Outcomes in Neonates with Meconium Aspiration Syndrome: A Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis and GRADE Assessment

<i>Background and Objectives</i>: Meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) is a condition caused by the aspiration of meconium-stainted amniotic fluid into the lungs, resulting in pulmonary inflammation, neonatal morbidity, and mortality. It is important that these MAS infants receive appropri...

It is important that these MAS infants receive appropriate care to avoid further complications. Steroids have an anti-inflammatory effect and may be effective in the management of MAS. The objective of the this study was to evaluate the effect of different steroids on clinical outcomes in infants with MAS. <i>Materials and Methods</i>: We systematically searched of PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Embase, Clinical Trials.gov, and Cochrane Library databases from inception to 24 January 2021 without language restriction. Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the effects of steroids in neonates with MAS were included. We calculated relative risks and weighted mean differences (MDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using a random-effects model to determine the associations between MAS and steroids and GRADE approach was employed for quality of evidence. The main outcomes measures were duration of respiratory distress, oxygen requirement, hospitalization, need for mechanical ventilation, death, and adverse drug reactions. <i>Results</i>: Seven RCTs involving 397 patients were analyzed. Nebulized budesonide and intravenous (IV) methylprednisolone shortened the duration of respiratory distress (MD, −2.46 days; 95% CI, −3.09 to −1.83 and MD, −3.30 days; 95% CI, −4.07 to −2.52, respectively) (moderate certainty). There was a reduction in duration of oxygen requirement in nebulized budesonide use (MD, −2.40 days; 95% CI, −3.40 to −1.40) (low certainty) and IV methylprednisolone use (MD, −3.30 days; 95% CI, −4.07 to −2.52) (moderate certainty). Nebulized budesonide shortened hospitalization stay (MD, −4.47 days; 95% CI, −8.64 to −0.30 days) (low certainty) as IV methylprednisolone use (MD, −7.23 days; 95% CI, −8.19 to −6.07 days) (moderate certainty).
