Developmental Defects and Mortality Rate of Fetuses and Newborns from Multiple Pregnancies
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 August 2014
Abstract
The analysis of 682 newborns indicated that developmental defects accounted for 0.44% of the overall perinatal mortality of twins. The 3.7% higher mortality rate for second twins is frequently due to abnormal presentation and longer time-interval following the birth of the first twin.
