Risk of premature birth in multifetal pregnancy.

The risk of preterm delivery (< 37 weeks of gestation) is approximately nine times higher in women with multifetal pregnancies than in women with singleton pregnancies. However, it is possible that the risk will vary according to gestational week. To assess the risk of premature birth within 1 week by gestational age among multifetal pregnancies and compare the estimated risk with that of singl...

Maternal serum concentrations of pregnancy associated placental protein A and pregnancy specific beta-1-glycoprotein in multifetal pregnancies before and after fetal reduction.

Placental function in multifetal pregnancies before and after embryo reduction was investigated by measuring maternal serum concentrations of pregnancy associated placental protein-A (PAPP-A) and pregnancy specific beta-1-glycoprotein (SP-1). Three groups of pregnant women were studied following assisted reproduction; groups 1 and 2, were 12 singleton and 12 twin pregnancies respectively, and g...

4.3.5 Ethical Considerations for the Reduction of Multifetal Pregnancies

1. To increase awareness of the ethical issues associated with multifetal pregnancy reduction; 2. To highlight the potential ethical distinctions between singleton abortion and multifetal pregnancy reduction; 3. To explore whether different types of fetal reduction procedures present distinct ethical issues that require unique ethical justification, drawing attention to the utility of ethical a...
