Gestational Age‐Dependent Effects of Antenatal Magnesium Sulfate on Fetal S100B Levels: An Observational Study Using Cord Serum

Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Research, Volume 52, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) is widely used for fetal neuroprotection in preterm births before 32 weeks of gestation, yet it remains unclear whether its effect depends on gestational age.
