The between-group differences highlight that there is a therapeutic range of neonatal serum magnesium concentrations for neuroprotective effects of antenatal magnesium sulfate, while concentrations outside of this range may be associated with adverse neonatal outcomes. Further studies are needed to determine the optimal dose and duration of maternal magnesium to minimize adverse neonatal outcomes.
