Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the risks of complications associated with twin pregnancies conceived through Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) compared to those conceived naturally or through non-ART methods.
- It systematically reviews maternal and perinatal outcomes using data from 111 studies, focusing solely on twin pregnancies to avoid discrepancies from including higher order multiples like triplets.
- Findings show that ART-conceived twins are at a significantly higher risk for issues like preterm birth, hypertensive disorders, gestational diabetes, and requiring cesarean deliveries compared to non-ART twins, with notable statistical evidence supporting these risks.
Background: The perinatal mortality and morbidity among twins vary by chorionicity. Although it is considered that monochorionicity is associated with an increased risk of preterm birth in twin pregnancies, no systematic review exists evaluating this association.
Objectives: This systematic review was undertaken to assess the association between preterm birth and chorionicity in twin pregnancies.
