Use of magnesium sulfate before 32 weeks of gestation: a European population-based cohort study

Abstract

Severe pre-eclampsia, eclampsia or HELLP are not treated with MgSO₄ as frequently as evidence-based medicine recommends. MgSO₄ is seldom used for fetal neuroprotection, and is no longer used for tocolysis. To continuously lower morbidity, greater attention to use of MgSO₄ is needed.
