“…This suggests that the effect on morbidity is an effect of preterm delivery rather than twinning per se. This conclusion is in agreement with other studies (Medearis et al 1979: Keith et al 1980: Hawrylyshyn et al 1982, which looked only at mortality and early neonatal morbidity.…”

“…Most studies on the outcome of twin pregnancies use perinatal or neonatal mortality as an expression of the quality of obstetric care (Kauppila et al 1975: Naeye et al 1978Medearis et al 1979: Hawrylyshyn et al 1982. The condition of the infants has been assessed by the Apgar score at birth and by morbidity in the neonatal period (Ho & Wu 1975: Koivisto et al 1975, but few studies have reported long-term follow-up studies of twins (Record et al 1970).…”

“…[3] Antepartum complications noted in this study were preterm labor, 29.6%, pregnancy-induced hypertension, 5.4%, and antepartum hemorrhage, 3.8%. The prematurity rate was observed to align with reports of USA (21.5%) [15] and Finland (29.2%), [14] but lower than the previous institution rate of 39%. [3] The lower incidence of postpartum hemorrhage may be related to the use of active management of labor.…”

[14,15] This study was undertaken to determine the incidence of twin births and to review the associated pregnancy and fetal complications as seen at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital (UMTH), Maiduguri.…”

“…Τα δίδυμα εμφανίζουν μεγαλύτερη περιγεννητική θνησιμότητα και νοσηρότητα σε σύγκριση προς τις μονήρεις κυήσεις (182)(183)(184). Πολλοί συγγραφείς συμφωνούν ότι η ψηλότερη θνησιμότητα και νοσηρότητα των διδύμων οφείλεται σχεδόν αποκλειστικά στο αυξημένο ποσοστό προωρότητας και ότι η θνησιμότητα, σε συσχέτιση προς το βάρος γέννησης δεν διαφέρει ουσιαστικά μεταξύ διδύμων και μονήρων κυήσεων (185,190). Άλλοι παράγοντες οι οποίοι συνάπτονται στην περιγεννητική θνησιμότητα των διδύμων περιλαμβάνουν την ενδομήτρια καθυστέρηση αύξησης, το κάπνισμα της εγκύου, τις αιμορραγίες κατά την κύηση και την πρόωρη ρήξη θυλακίου (185,(191)(192)(193).…”
