Abstract
Background: Twin gestation is considered as one of the most common, high-risk conditions in obstetrics. Morbidity and mortality rate for twins was higher than singletons.
Objective: To study etiology and effect of twin pregnancy in Sisaket hospital
Research Design: Retrospective descriptive study
Setting: Obstetric and gynecological department and pediatric department, Sisaket hospital.
Method: To study the incidence of twin pregnancy in Sisaket hospital in period of 3 years during from October 151 2002 - September 30th 2005. Data were collected from maternal chart.
Result: There were 167 twin delivers from total 11,638 deliveries. The incidence of twin deliveries was 14.35 per 1,000 deliveries. The mean maternal age was 28.45 years and mean gestational age of deliver was 35.6 weeks. The mean birth weight was 2215.75 grams and low birth weight rate was 70.66 percents. The most route of deliver of twins was vaginal delivery and female : male ratio was 1.12 : 1. The most common maternal complication was preterm labor and perinatal mortality rate was 53.89 per 1,000 twin deliveries.
Conclusion: The incidence of twin deliveries at Srisaket hospital was 14.35 per 1,000 deliveries. The perinatal mortality rate was high (53.89 per 1,000 twins deliveries).The effective antepartum and intrapartum care for twin gestation by experienced clinicians may reduce risk of perinatal mortality.
