Neonatal morbidity of very low birth weight infants from multiple pregnancies.
The epidemic of multiple births has translated into a marked rise in very low birth weight infants, who are at risk for major neonatal morbidity and mortality. Gestational age-adjusted comparisons of outcome between singletons and multiples have shown conflicting results. Comparisons that corrected for relevant confounding variables show that twins and singletons have similar risks for early morbidity and mortality. Very low birth weight triplets may have increased risk for neonatal mortality, however. Second-born very low birth weight twins seem to be at risk for increased respiratory morbidity, even in the era of routine antenatal corticosteroids and postnatal surfactant therapy.
