- Abstract
The clinical data of triplet pregnancy and the initial twin pregnancy and singleton pregnancy was collected in the reproductive centre of The Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University. To comparing the twin pregnancy after selective reduction group and the initial twin pregnancy group, there was a significant difference in preterm birth rate (55.13%, 35.19%), gestational age at delivery (34.60 ± 0.29 vs.36.04 ± 0.27), and neonatal birth weight (2.12 ± 0.54 vs.2.37 ± 0.07kg) (P < 0.05). It is necessary to reduce the number of fetuses to decrease pregnancy complications. retaining a single fetus may be more beneficial to reduce the miscarriage rate, preterm birth rate, and risk of neonatal diseases.
