What are the novel findings of this work?In this observational study of 17 189 women who delivered twins at ≥ 34 weeks of gestation, the twins from the 5032 pregnancies delivered in the late-preterm period (34 + 0 to 36 + 6 weeks) had adverse short-and long-term outcome compared with those born at term (≥ 37 weeks).
What are the clinical implications of this work?The risk of adverse short-and long-term outcome of late-preterm birth should be considered when determining the timing of delivery in uncomplicated twin pregnancy.
