- Abstract
Background: This study aimed to investigate whether the differences between twin invitrofertilization (IVF) and twin spontaneous pregnancies in terms of pregnancy and perinatal outcome. Material and Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study carried out by examining the data of dichorionic-diamniotic twin pregnancies with live births in a private hospital between 2015 and 2018. There were two study groups which were the twin pregnancy group with spontaneous pregnancy and the IVF twin group with pregnancy via assisted reproductive techniques. Results: Pregnancy and birth problems did not differ between the two groups. The IVF twin pregnancies were observed to have higher rates of preterm birth, low birthweight and APGAR 1st minute scores. Perinatal mortality rates were found similar in both groups. Conclusion: In conclusion, it was shown in this study that the risks of preterm birth and low birthweight which are already higher in twin pregnancies than in singleton pregnancies were even higher in the IVF twin pregnancies. It is recommended in accordance with these results that single embryo transfers should be preferred and iatrogenic multiple pregnancies should not be encouraged.
