Multifetal pregnancy reduction of triplet and higher-order multiple pregnancies to twins

Copyright © 2004 American Society for Reproductive Medicine. Published by Elsevier Science Inc.This systematic review was performed to assess the effects of multifetal pregnancy reduction for women with triplet and higher-order multiple pregnancies on fetal loss, preterm birth, and perinatal and infant mortality and morbidity. From nonrandomized studies, multifetal pregnancy reduction seems to be an effective treatment option, with outcomes comparable to those obtained from twin pregnancies conceived spontaneously or after assisted reproductive techniques.Jodie Dodd and Caroline Crowtherhttp://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/600420/description#descriptio
