The incidence of twin pregnancy has increased significantly worldwide in recent years. One of the main associated problems is prematurity, which affects almost 50% of twin pregnancies, and is the single most important cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality. In this context, measures of prevention of preterm delivery are becoming increasingly important. In single pregnancy, there is strong evidence to recommend the use of multiple prevention strategies, with encouraging results. In multiple gestations, the information is smaller and the results less promising. This article aims to review available evidence on different techniques for preventing preterm birth in twin pregnancies.
