Article Synopsis
- - Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a significant cause of maternal health complications after childbirth, with twin pregnancies showing a higher risk for PPH compared to single births.
- - A review of 21 studies involving 23,330 twin pregnancies found that the incidence of PPH was 10.9% for vaginal deliveries and 27.0% for cesarean sections, with in vitro fertilization (IVF) being the most common conception method (62.0%).
- - The findings indicate a notable risk of PPH in twin deliveries and highlight the need for additional high-quality research to better understand this issue and validate the results.
