To compare the pregnancy outcomes of pregnancy outcomes after selective fetal reduction treatment in monochorionic, dichorionic, and trichorionic triplet pregnancies. We conducted a retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 118 pregnant women carrying triplets. All subjects underwent regular prenatal check-ups and were admitted for delivery at West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University between January 1, 2012 and January 31, 2021. According to the chorionicity, the subjects were divided into a monochorionic group ( =13), a dichorionic group ( =44), and a trichorionic group ( =61). Within each group, the subjects were further divided into two subgroups, a reduction group and an expectant treatment group, according to whether they underwent fetal reduction or not. The clinical data and pregnancy outcomes were compared between the subgroups within each group. In the monichorionic group, the reduction subgroup had a lower preterm birth rate and higher neonatal birth body mass than those of the
