Background: Despite the progress in modern obstetric practice, preterm labor is second leading cause of death in the 1st month of life and the main cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality; it remains a difficult problem to prevent, delay or even stop.
It occurs in 5%–13% of all pregnancies before 37 weeks’ gestation but its incidence in twin pregnancies is about 25%.
Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effect of prophylactic cervical cerclage (CC) in comparison to others methods: vaginal progesterone and bed rest in prolongation of gestational age in twin pregnancies to prevent preterm labor.
Materials and Methods: A retrospective descriptive study was conducted between January 2012 and September 2018, in a private obstetric antenatal care clinic in Duhok/Kurdistan Region/Iraq.
It involved 150 women with twin pregnancies attending this clinic for follow‑up, they divided into: Group 1 (N‑86): women who received prophylactic CC; Group 2 (N‑44): those who got the vaginal progesterone supplementation of 100 mg from 20 to 34 weeks of gestation; and Group 3 (N‑20): those who asked for advisement of bed rest and restriction of physical activity.
Results: Most of the total sample 95.3% had dichorionic placenta, the majority of them 84.7% were the result of assisted reproductive techniques.
There was no statistically significant difference between the three groups in relation to maternal age, gravid, and previous preterm delivery, but there was in relation to the gestational age at delivery.
In Group 1, 93% who delivered >37 weeks, whereas 16% and 10% in Group 2 and Group 3 who delivered at this gestational age, respectively.
The overall perinatal survival was 91.3% and 26.6% who admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
Conclusions: The current study found that the prophylactic CC was an effective method to prolong pregnancy among women with twin pregnancies.
