Reduction of multifetal gestation to twins:is it always possible to attain natural outcomes?

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı transabdominal fetal redüksiyonun araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Redüksiyon yapılan ikiz gebelikler ile spontan ikiz ve yardımcı üreme teknikleri (IVF) ile oluşan ikiz gebelikler karşılaştırıldı. Gebelik süreleri, pematür doğum ve doğum oranları, gebelikteki komplikasyonlar, doğum ağırlığı, APGAR skoru, yenidoğan yoğun bakımda yatış oranı ve doğum şekli açısından karşılaştırıldı. Sonuç: 2007-2014 yılları arasında takibi yapılan 380 ikiz doğum çalışmaya alındı. Perinatal sonuçlar ile ilgili tüm veriler üç grup arasında karşılaştırıldı. Spontan ikiz gebelikler (grup 3, n=165) ve IVF ile oluşan ikiz gebelikler (grup 1, n=117) ve redüksiyon sonrası ikiz gebelik devam edenler (grup 2, n=49). Gebelik süresi, erken doğum ve gebelikle ilişkili komplikasyonlar grup 1'deki hastalarda grup 2'ye göre anlamlı olarak iyiydi. Bunun yanı sıra doğum ağırlığı, APGAR 1.ve 5.dakika skorları grup 2'de grup 1'e gore daha düşüktü. Tartışma: komplikasyonları olmasına ragmen çoğul gebeliklerde önerilmektedir. Embriyo redüksiyonu, IVF ile olan ikiz gebelikler spontan ikiz gebelikler ile karşılaştırıldığında sonuçları daha olumsuz olarak saptanmıştır

Çoğul gebeliklerin ikize indirgenmesi:doğal sonuçları elde etmekherzaman mümkün müdür?

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate effects of transabdominal fetal reduction on pregnancy outcomes. Material and Methods: Women with multifetal gestation whose pregnancies were reduced to twins were compared with spontaneous twins and assisted reproduction twins. The main outcome measures were the duration of pregnancy, premature labor and delivery rates, complication rates during pregnancy, birth weight, APGAR scores, neonatal intensive care unite admission rates, and delivery routes. Results: 380 twin deliveries followed up at our institution between years 2007-2014 were enrolled. All data concerning perinatal outcomes were compared among three groups. twins conceived spontaneously (group 3, n=165) and via IVF (group 1, n=117) along with IVF conceived high order pregnancies wherein embryo reduction was implemented (group 2, n=49). The duration of pregnancy, the rate of premature and the rate of overall pregnancy associated complications were all favorable in group 1 rather than group 2. As well, the mean birth weight and APGAR scores at 1st and 5th minutes were all found to be lower in group 2 than in group 1. Conclusion: The results emphasize embryo reduction should be acknowledged as a salvage procedure due to high risk of complications in embryo reduced high-order pregnancies. Embryo reduction yields results comparable to twins conceived via IVF yields poorer results compared to spontaneously conceived twins
