Summary
Twin birth rates have increased in developed countries. This document looks at preterm birth risks in twin pregnancies and subsequent singleton pregnancies. It gives information on how to assess the risks of preterm birth in these cases.
Twin Birth Rates
Twin birth rates have increased in developed countries. This increase is due to assisted reproductive techniques and older maternal age. It looks at the rates of twin births in the United States and other developed countries.
Preterm Birth Risks
Twin pregnancies have higher risks of complications. These include preterm birth, which can happen spontaneously or due to medical intervention. Preterm birth is a major risk factor for perinatal morbidity and death.
Recurrence Risk of Preterm Birth
A history of preterm birth is a risk factor for subsequent preterm birth. The document looks at the risk of preterm birth in singleton pregnancies after a previous preterm twin delivery. It uses data from a nationwide database to investigate this risk.
Study Methods
The study uses data from The Netherlands Perinatal Registry. It links records of children from the same mother to create a mother identifier. The study includes women who delivered a singleton pregnancy after a previous twin pregnancy.
