Maternal and Perinatal Outcomes in Twins conceived Spontaneously Versus by Art –A Prospective Observational Study

Background: Multifetal pregnancies are on the rise due to advanced treatment modalities for infertility and assisted reproductive techniques (ART). These pregnancies are associated with more maternal and fetal morbidities as compared to singleton gestations. Even among twin pregnancies, those conceived by ART have been shown to be associated with adverse outcomes as compared to their spontaneously conceived counterparts. Objectives: The primary objective was to examine whether DCDA twin pregnancies conceived after ART were at a higher risk of adverse outcomes as compared to their spontaneously conceived counterparts. The secondary objective was to assess the maternal and fetal complications in the twin pregnancies.
