Abstract
A total of 88 women with a twin pregnancy who had elective cervical suture were compared with 76 women with a twin pregnancy who had cervical assessment between the 13th and the 28th weeks of gestation but received no active treatment. The incidence of spontaneous onset of labour before 36 weeks was higher in the cervical suture group, and 53.4% of them sustained cervical damage.Keywords
