Evaluating antenatal risk in twin pregnancies-A feasibility study to identify modifiable factors associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Twin pregnancies have significantly higher rates of perinatal morbidity and mortality compared to singleton pregnancies; current attempts to reduce perinatal mortality have been less successful in twin pregnancies. The paucity of information about modifiable risk factors for adverse neonatal outcomes in twin pregnancies, as well as independent effects of chorionicity may have contributed to this outcome. This study aimed to explore the feasibility of an observational study to identify modifiable factors associated with adverse neonatal outcomes in twin pregnancies.

Material and methods

Patients pregnant with twins at six UK hospitals between December 2019-March 2021 completed researcher-administered questionnaires at approximately 20-, 28- and 36-weeks' gestatio
