Abstract
Objective To explore the influence of delivery route on pregnancy outcome in twin pregnancy.Methods The date of 120 cases of twin pregnancy from 2008 to 2010 were retrospectively analyzed,among which 76 cases performed cesarean section and 44 underwent vaginal delivery.Results The rate of neonatal asphyxia and case fatality at 34 weeks of gestation were significantly higher than that of 34 weeks of gestation,with statistical meaning(P0.01);the rate of neonatal asphyxia and case fatality of second fetal were higher than that of first fetal,and had significantly difference with cesarean section cases(P0.01);the weeks of gestation and postpartum hemorrhage had no striking difference between the two groups.Conclusion Compared with vaginal delivery,cesarean section for twin pregnancy can decrease the rate of neonatal asphyxia and case fatality.
