“…This is of particular interest in view of the finding that MFPR may be associated with an increased risk of extremely preterm birth ( ! 28 weeks) as compared with non-reduced twin pregnancies (4.8 vs. 1.8%, p = 0.004) [6] .…”

“…8 One way of reducing complications from multiple pregnancies associated with IVF has been to employ multifetal pregnancy reduction, with selective termination performed to reduce pregnancies to singletons or twins. However, complication rates in reduced pregnancies remain higher than non-reduced pregnancies (of the same number) [22]. There are potential neurological complications in the remaining fetus/fetuses [23].…”

“…Reanalysis of the costs per child born (and including all of the excess health costs) favours DET, costing approximately US$3790 less per live born child compared with SET. 22 However, figures based on economic modeling of projected lifetime tax earnings (subtracting lifetime direct government costs, such as for education, health, pensions) are even more striking. Such modelling suggests that there is a net economic benefit of £110,000, or US$155,000, for each child conceived by IVF [59,60].…”

“…When the mechanism is uncertain, DNA analysis may be helpful. Fetal reduction has been suggested in high-order multiple pregnancies to decrease the rate of complications, but this procedure has its own complications and does not eliminate all the detrimental effects of these high-risk pregnancies (6).…”
