Maternal deaths in twin pregnancies are not well documented but are likely increased by unique complications. Including twin gestations in maternal death reviews can help reduce avoidable mortality.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine
  • Perinatal Research

Background:

  • Twin gestations present unique physiological challenges and increased risks for perinatal pathologies.
  • Maternal morbidity and mortality in twin pregnancies are significant concerns in obstetrics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review maternal morbidity and delivery complications associated with twin gestations.
  • To highlight factors contributing to maternal death in twin pregnancies.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature search was conducted.
  • Review of existing studies on maternal morbidity and mortality in twin pregnancies.

Main Results:

  • The exact incidence of maternal mortality in twin gestations is unknown.

  • Physiological changes and specific pathologies (preeclampsia, anemia, abruption placentae, cesarean delivery) increase maternal risk in twin pregnancies.

    • Conclusions:

    • Twin pregnancies should be categorized with pregnancy-related maternal deaths.
    • Analyzing these cases is crucial for identifying and eliminating avoidable maternal mortality in twin gestations.
