title: Multifetal pregnancy reduction and selective termination.
abstract: Multifetal pregnancy reduction has had a major impact upon perinatal morbidity and mortality following iatrogenic multiple pregnancies. There are still residual risks, however, that are higher for higher order multiples than for pregnancies that started out at lower numbers. There are many, but not complete, parallels between reductions for number per se, and selective termination because of diagnosed abnormalities.
