Abstract
Results: In our population of 50 triplet gestations, 24 (48.0%) had CS and 11 of these (45.8%) underwent CC. On average, patients with CS delivered 24 days earlier (P = 0.001), had babies that weighed 451 grams less (P < 0.0001) and had lower 1(P < 0.0001) and 5-minute APGARs (P = 0.006), compared to patients without CS. When comparing patients with CS that had CC to those managed expectantly, there were no differences in gestational age (GA) at delivery, birth weight, or APGARs (Table 1). Conclusions: Biweekly transvaginal ultrasound of triplets can identify those with CS and thus at risk for poorer neonatal outcomes. However, CC in triplets with CS offers no additional advantage to expectant management.
