title: A comparison of the reproductive outcome between women with a unicornuate uterus and women with a didelphic uterus.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To compare the reproductive performance of women with a unicornuate uterus with the reproductive performance of women with a didelphic uterus.
  
  
  METHODS
  Retrospective.
  
  
  METHODS
  Reproductive endocrinology service of a tertiary referral hospital.
  
  
  METHODS
  The proportion of pregnancies resulting in spontaneous abortion, preterm delivery, term delivery, and living children was determined for each group.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Twenty-nine women with a unicornuate uterus and 25 women with a didelphic uterus were identified. Twenty women with a unicornuate uterus produced a total of 40 pregnancies, whereas 13 women with a didelphic uterus produced a total of 28 pregnancies. The 33% spontaneous abortion rate in the unicornuate group was not significantly different from the 23% rate in the didelphic group. The proportion of pregnancies resulting in preterm delivery, term delivery, and living children was similar in both groups.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The reproductive performance of women with a unicornuate uterus is similar to the performance of women with a didelphic uterus.
