OBJECTIVE: To determine, using individual patient data (IPD) meta-analysis, whether the outcome of triplet pregnancy is affected by prophylactic administration of 17-hydroxyprogesterone caproate (17OHPc). SEARCH STRATEGY: We searched literature databases, trial registries and references in published articles. SELECTION CRITERIA: Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of progestogens versus control that included women with triplet pregnancies. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Investigators from identified RCTs collaborated on the protocol and contributed their IPD. The primary outcome was a composite measure of adverse perinatal outcome. The secondary outcome was the rate of birth before 32 weeks of gestation. Other pre-specified outcomes included randomisation-to-delivery interval and rates of birth at
