Glucocorticoids are drugs that have many effects on body metabolism, raise sugar level in the blood, and reduce inflammation. By applying a statistical technique for combining the findings from a systematic literature review (meta analysis), researchers want to learn more about the relationship of the risk to develop a separation in the roof of the mouth (cleft palate) in newborns and contact with glucocorticoids during pregnancy.
