Protocol summary

Study aim
Assessing the effect of supplemental injectible progesterone on complicated monochorionic diamnionic twin pregnancies radiofreuncy ablated with cervical length of 25 mm in TVS
Design
randomized single-blinded (analyzer),controlled clinical trial, phase 3; sample size 80
Settings and conduct
This study performed at Yas women hospital patients in the intervention group were pregnancies who underwent RFA for one of the twins and had a cervical length longerer than 25mm who were administered 17-hydroxyprogesterone caproate control group were complicated twin pregnancies undergone RFA for randomization equal to the number of patients a & b letters were put in a pocket and before each RFA procedure a letter has been drawn to determine allocation of the patient in case versus control group the data analyzer was blinded to group allocations
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
complicated monochorionic diamnionic twin pregnancies radiofreuncy ablated with cervical length of 25 mm in TVS exclusion criteria : history of cervical insufficiency or recurrent pregnancy loss of second trimester history of preterm delivery in previous pregnancies cerclage twin-twin transfusion syndrome
Intervention groups
complicated monochorionic diamnionic twin pregnancies radiofreuncy ablated with cervical length of 25 mm in TVS patients in the intervention group were administered a dose of 17 hydroxyprogesterone caproate 250mg intramuscular and the same dose was prescribed weekly until 36 weeks gestation for control group, patients underwent radiofrequency ablation and no further drug intervention was done
Main outcome variables
Duration of pregnancy; preterm premature rupture of membranes; neonate admission to NICU.

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Simple randomization To the number of samples in each group, letters A or B were written on cards and put in a pocket. Prior to each intervention a card was taken out determining the patient allocation to case or control group.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded
Blinding description
Follow up and result assessment of patients were performed by health care providers who were blind to allocation and the final results were available to the researcher and data analyzer by codes A and B.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group:  monochorionic twin pregnancies complicated with anomalous fetus or selective IUGR of a co-twin with cervical length more than 25 millimeters undergoing radiofrequency ablation, supplemental injectable progesterone in the form of 17hydroxyprogesterone caproate will be administered intramuscularly and the same dose will be injected weekly until 36 weeks gestation. the patients will be compared to the control group for whom , only the RFA is done and no further drug administration is performed.

Description
Control group: monochorionic complicated twin pregnancies by anomalous fetus or selective IUGR and a cervical length more than 25mm, undergo ablation of the abnormal co-twin with radiofrequency and no supplemental progesterone and pregnancy outcome is followed.RFA is a single session procedure done through a needle using radiofrequency waves, resulting in occlusion of the abnormal co-twin cord and intrauterine fetal death while the other continue to grow.
