Incidence, morbidity and mortality, and diagnosis of twin gestations

K D Wenstrom et al. Clin Perinatol. 1988 Mar.

Abstract

Twin gestations have higher morbidity and mortality than singleton pregnancies. This is related to the teratogenic event of twinning itself, as well as to physiologic changes associated with twinning. Early diagnosis, careful monitoring, and knowledge of potential problems may help the alert obstetrician to improve outcome.
