The ideal twin pregnancy: Patterns of weight gain, discordancy, and length of gestation

Objective: Our purpose was to evaluate factors associated with the best intrauterine growth and lowest morbidity among twins (“ideal twin pregnancy”). Study Design: A historic prospective study of 163 twin births was performed. Ten models were formulated with multiple regression and multivariate log...

Zusammenfassung:Objective: Our purpose was to evaluate factors associated with the best intrauterine growth and lowest morbidity among twins (“ideal twin pregnancy”). Study Design: A historic prospective study of 163 twin births was performed. Ten models were formulated with multiple regression and multivariate logistic regression. Results: In the models of birth weight, gestations of 28 to 36 and 39 to 41 weeks, black race, ≥ 15% discordancy, and smoking were all significant negative factors. The pattern of early low weight gain (
