Journal ArticleDOI
The origin and outcome of preterm twin pregnancies
Michael O. Gardner,Robert L. Goldenberg,Suzanne P. Cliver,James M. Tucker,Kathleen G. Nelson,Rachel L. Copper +5 more
TL;DR: Twin births accounted for a disproportional amount of preterm birth and associated morbidity and mortality and when preterm twins were compared with preterm singletons and corrected for their gestational ages, the rates of morbidity were similar.
Journal ArticleDOI
Twins and triplets: The effect of plurality and growth on neonatal outcome compared with singleton infants
TL;DR: Intrauterine growth restriction and prematurity are the principal issues that drive neonatal mortality and morbidity rates in multiple gestations and data on a large number of twins and triplets provide reassurance that neonatal outcome at all viable premature weeks of gestation are similar to singletons.
Journal ArticleDOI
The risks confronting twins: A national perspective***
William F. Powers,John L. Kiely +1 more
TL;DR: These population-based data show that although twins are relatively infrequent they account for a disproportionately large share of adverse pregnancy outcomes and development and testing of interventions to postpone preterm delivery in twin pregnancy should become a national public health priority.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perinatal factors and neonatal morbidity in twin pregnancy
TL;DR: The increased incidence of deaths and morbidity in twin pregnancy, as compared to singleton pregnancy, was attributed to prematurity, and to complications and diseases pertaining to prem aturity, rather than to twinning per se.

Preterm premature rupture of membranes and abruptio placentae: is there an association between these pregnancy complications?
Carol Major,Carol Major,Margarita de Veciana,Margarita de Veciana,David F. Lewis,David F. Lewis,Mark A. Morgan,Mark A. Morgan +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a retrospective cohort study over a 2.5-year period was performed to determine whether the incidence of abruptio placentae is increased in pregnancies with preterm premature rupture of membranes and to assess whether certain clinical risk factors in this group predispose them to have abruption.
