Maternal and neonatal outcomes of dichorionic twin pregnancies achieved with assisted reproductive technology: meta-analysis of contemporary data.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Assisted reproductive technology (ART) is commonly used to achieve pregnancy and often results in dichorionic diamniotic (DCDA) twin pregnancies. However, the potential risks of ART on maternal and neonatal outcomes in these pregnancies are not well understood. The objective is to compare the maternal and neonatal outcomes in DCDA twin pregnancies between those achieved through ART and those spontaneously conceived (SC).

Methods

We carried out a systematic comprehensive search of electronic databases; namely, PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library, from inception to March 2023 with a study period of recruitment between 2003 and 2023. We included all studies comparing the maternal and neonatal outcomes of DCDA twin pregnancies between those achieved by ART a
