Multiple pregnancy remains the most common complication of ART. The incidence of high-order multiple (HOM) pregnancies (triplets and greater) increased fivefold within 18 years and the total number peaked a decade ago. The incidence of twins and HOMs remains high but the proportion due to ART is much less than previously suspected, and the relative contribution of other factors greater.
