Background The optimal approach to prevent preterm birth (PTB) in twins has not been fully
established yet. Recent evidence suggests that placement of cervical cerclage in twin …

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of cerclage for preventing preterm birth in twin
pregnancies with a short cervical length. Design We performed an individual patient data …

Background In women with a multiple pregnancy, spontaneous preterm delivery is the
leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Interventions to reduce preterm birth in …

Background Cervical cerclage is a surgical intervention involving placing a stitch around the
uterine cervix. The suture material aims to prevent cervical shortening and opening, thereby …

Twins represent 3.2% of all live births; however, they account for 20.0% of all preterm
deliveries, with 60.0% and 10.7% of twins delivered before 37 and 32 weeks' gestation …

Objective Data This study was conducted to estimate whether cerclage could extend the
prolongation of pregnancy, reduce the risk of preterm birth, and improve perinatal outcomes …

Objective We sought to compare the perinatal outcomes in twin pregnancies with short
cervical length (CL) with ultrasound-indicated cerclage (UIC) vs no cerclage (control). Study …

Background Twin pregnancies are associated with a high risk of neonatal mortality and
morbidity due to an increased rate of preterm birth. Betamimetics can decrease contraction …

Purpose: To evaluate whether cerclage in twins reduces the rate of spontaneous preterm
birth< 32 weeks when compared to expectant management. Methods: This is a retrospective …

Objective. To compare rates of preterm birth before 35 weeks based on cervical length
measurement at 16–20 weeks in women with twin gestations who received 17-α …
