Summary: The incidence of multifetal gestations in the United States has significantly increased in the past few decades, especially for twin and triplet and higher-order multifetal gestations. This increase is partly attributed to older maternal age at conception and the widespread use of assisted reproductive technology. Multiple gestations are associated with various perinatal complications, with one of the most serious being preterm birth and its related infant health issues.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the presentation of risk information in the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) obstetrical Practice Bulletins. The results showed that most recommendations did not provide numeric risk information, and among those that did, absolute risk measures were not commonly used. The study suggests that obstetrical practice guidelines should aim to provide numerical risk information whenever possible to improve risk comprehension.

Factors such as patient-related factors, physician-related factors, lack of available operating rooms and anesthesia, federal consent requirements, and receiving care in some religiously affiliated hospitals may decrease the likelihood of a patient obtaining desired postpartum sterilization.
