Discordant Twins: Acid-Base Status
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 August 2014
Abstract
A prospective study was undertaken to determine the effect of twin birth-weight discordancy on Apgar scores and umbilical blood acid-base parameters. Using the paired t-test, small but statistically significant differences were seen in these parameters favoring the heavier twin over its lighter sibling. These differences were also affected by birth order, with the first-born being favored.
