Do induced twin pregnancies influence the obstetric and neonatal results of multiple births born before 32 weeks? Comparison to spontaneous gestation

Abstract: PURPOSE: To compare obstetric outcomes of induced preterm twin births (under 32 weeks gestation) with those spontaneously conceived. METHODS: Prospective study of twin pregnancies (25 induced and 157 spontaneously conceived) developed over a period of 16 years in a tertiary obstetric center. Demographic factors, obstetric complications, gestational age at delivery, mode of delivery, birth weight and immediate newborn outcome were compared.

“…In the study by Mazhar et al [3], 27.8% showed [25% discordancy. In twin pregnancies, discordance [20% ranges from 14 to 40% (16%) [6]. There is a disparity among various studies in describing the degree of discordance, some consider 20% as significant, whereas the recent recommendations consider 25%.…”

A ocorrência de gestação múltipla está associada com taxas de prematuridade mais elevadas e alta incidência de bebês com baixo peso ao nascer (6) .…”
