| Abstract: | The proportion of twins resulting from multifetal pregnancy reduction of higher-order multiples is increased in pregnancies resulting from hormone stimulation when compared with twins following in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection treatment. These reduced twin pregnancies may carry a higher perinatal risk compared with other twin pregnancies, which should be taken into account when assessing the perinatal outcome of twin pregnancies after assisted reproduction. |
