“…With the gradual relaxation of one-child policy in China in recent decades [ 1 ], there has been an increase in multiple pregnancies, which is primarily related to progress in the treatment of infertility and assisted reproductive technologies (ART) [ 2 , 3 ]. Multiple pregnancies are associated with adverse maternal outcomes, including increased rates of preeclampsia, pregnancy-induced hypertension, maternal anemia, and venous thrombosis [ 4 , 5 ].…”

Background Twin pregnancy poses a high risk, and its incidence has increased in recent years. Establishment of reference intervals of complete blood count (CBC) for women with twin pregnancies during pregnancy may aid in the prognosis of adverse outcomes. Methods The incidence of complications and the intensity associated with adverse outcomes were analyzed in 1153 cases of twin pregnancy. A total of 253 cases in the twin pregnancy reference cohort were screened from all candidates after complications and adverse pregnancy outcomes were excluded. Complete blood count data were collected during the mid- and late-term of pregnancy and analyzed using SPSS to establish the reference intervals for peripheral blood in twin pregnancy. Results Premature rupture of the membrane and pelvic inflammatory disease were highly positively correlated with adverse outcomes, with OR values of 3.31 and 3.81, respectively. Within the interval population with normal outcomes, red blood cell (RBC), hemoglobin (HGB), hematocrit (HCT), and platelet (PLT) values were lower in twin-pregnant women during gestation than in healthy nulligravida women, but the levels of white blood cells (WBC), neutrophils (NEU), and the NEU% increased, especially in the mid-term. The reference intervals of late-term pregnancy were validated using 20 twin pregnancies samples, and then utilized to determine the distinctive CBC characteristics in preterm birth (PTB) pregnancy. Absolute WBC and NEU values increased in PTB pregnancy based on our established reference intervals, which suggests that these may might be prognostic indicators of this adverse outcome. Conclusion Establishing the reference interval of blood cell-related indicators of normal twin pregnancy is helpful for the monitoring and prognosis of gestation.

The COVID-19 Law Lab platform enables quantitative representation of epidemic law and policies in a given country for multiple years, enabling governments and researchers to compare countries, and learn about the impacts and drivers of policy choices. The Law Lab initiative is designed to address the urgent need for quality legal information to support the study of how law and policy can be used to effectively manage this, and future, pandemic(s).
