Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the fetomaternal outcome in women with twin pregnancy presenting at tertiary care teaching hospital.
Methodology: This descriptive study was conducted from 19-September-2024 to 19-March-2025. Eighty women with twin pregnancies who were aged between 15 to 35 years were selected. Fetomaternal outcomes were assessed which included, NICU admissions, low birth weight, preterm birth, perinatal mortality, preterm labor, anemia, pregnancy-induced hypertension and postpartum hemorrhage.
Results: We found that a large number of the women experienced preterm labor 51.2% while 47.5% were diagnosed with anemia. The neonatal outcomes revealed that 80% of the neonates had low birth weight and 52.5% required NICU admission. Perinatal mortality occurred in 5% of the neonates. Pregnancy-induced hypertension was observed in 20% patients.
Conclusion: Twin pregnancies present potential maternal and neonatal risks such as preterm labor (51.2%), anemia (47.5%), and pregnancy-induced hypertension (20%) while neonatal outcomes such as low birth weight (80%) and NICU admissions (52.5%).
