Prediction and prevention of twin spontaneous preterm birth

Abstract

Abstract:

With the development of assisted reproductive technology, the incidence of twin pregnancies and premature delivery has increased. There has evidence that sonographic cervical length assessment and fetal fibronectin testing can predict spontaneous preterm birth in twin pregnancies, but so far, there has no effective intervention for spontaneous preterm birth in twin pregnancies. This article will describe the prediction and prevention of spontaneous preterm birth in twin pregnancies.

Key words: Premature delivery, Prediction, Prevention
