| Popis: | Introduction Over the past two decades multiple births have been increasing in Ireland, in 2011 17.9 sets of twins per 1,000 live births were born. This study aims to investigate adverse perinatal outcomes in twin pregnancies. Methods A retrospective cohort study of all twin pregnancies delivered from 2009 to 2011 in a large, tertiary hospital (∼8,000 deliveries per annum) in the Republic of Ireland was conducted. Birth registers, NCIU and clinic records were reviewed to examine perinatal outcomes. Results Of the 523 twin pregnancies included in the study mean gestational age at delivery was 35.1 ± 3.8 (weeks). 79.1% (n = 413) delivered preterm ( Conclusion Our findings show that monochorionicity and nulliparity are associated with adverse perinatal outcomes in twin pregnancies, and confirm that these pregnancies warrant close antenatal surveillance. |
