Apgar scores in assessing morbidity of the second neonate of cephalic/non-cephalic twins in different delivery modes.

Our study was undertaken to determine whether caesarean section for the second of cephalic/non-cephalic presenting twins may prevent or diminish neonatal morbidity. For this study, 482 cephalic/non-cephalic presenting twins admitted to our hospital were retrospectively evaluated. They were separated into two groups according to their delivery mode: vaginal or caesarean delivery.
