“…Certain obstetric conditions frequently associated with multiple pregnancies, such as maternal age, preterm birth, birth weight perinatal hypoxia, or labor complications, have been implicated in developmental delays among children (Calame et al, 2004; Jansson-Verkasalo et al, 2004; David and Dean, 2007; Lollar and Cordero, 2007; Wolke et al, 2008; Cattani et al, 2010; Dall’oglio et al, 2010; Mercier et al, 2010; Kurth and Haussmann, 2011; Bidzan and Bieleninik, 2013; González-Valenzuela et al, 2015a,b). Preterm birth and low birth weight are important determinants of psychological development, since it has been shown that the earlier the birth in terms of weeks of gestation and the lower the birth weight, the greater the delay observed in psychological development, particularly in the first few years (Jansson-Verkasalo et al, 2004; Mercier et al, 2010; Aarnoudse-Moens et al, 2012; Zwicker and Harris, 2012; González-Valenzuela et al, 2015b).…”
