Perinatal outcome and timing of selective fetal reduction in dichorionic diamniotic twin pregnancies: a single-center retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The study aimed to evaluate the pregnancy outcomes of dichorionic diamniotic twin pregnancies that were reduced to singletons at different gestational ages.

Study design

This was a retrospective cohort study of twin pregnancies that underwent fetal reduction to singletons in a single tertiary referral center between 2011 and 2020. A total of 433 cases were included. The cohort was divided into five groups according to gestational age at surgery: Group A: <16 weeks (125 cases); Group B: 16-19⁺⁶ weeks (80 cases); Group C: 20-23⁺⁶ weeks (74 cases); Group D: 24-26⁺⁶ weeks (48 cases); and Group E: ≥27 weeks (106 cases). Outcome data were obtained by reviewing the electronic medical records or interviews.
