Objective: This study aimed to evaluate maternal and fetal characteristics and factors affecting fetal outcomes in twin pregnancies delivered by cesarean section.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study in a tertiary care referral hospital. The primary outcome was to ascertain the effects of independent factors on the 1st and 5th minute APGAR scores, neonatal intensive care unit admissions, the need for mechanical ventilation, and neonatal mortality.
Results: A total of 453 pregnant women and 906 newborns were included in the analysis. The final logistic regression model revealed that early gestational weeks and neonates <3rd weight percentile at the time of delivery were the most significant predictors of all poor outcome parameters in at least one of the twins (p<0.05). General anesthesia for cesarean section was associated with 1st minute APGAR<7 and the need for mechanical ventilation, and emergency surgery was correlated with the need for mechanical ventilation (p<0.05) in at least one of the twins.
Conclusion: General anesthesia, emergency surgery, early gestational weeks, and birth weight <3rd weight percentile were strongly associated with poor neonatal outcomes in at least one of the twins delivered by cesarean section.

Department of Ultrasound, Shanghai Changning Maternity and Infant Health Hospital, East China Normal University, Shanghai 200050, China.
Background: The incidence of multiple pregnancies has increased worldwide recently and women with a twin pregnancy are at higher risk of adverse outcomes compared with women with a singleton pregnancy. It is important to understand the risk factors for adverse fetal outcomes in twin pregnancy in order to guide clinical management.
Aim: To identify the independent risk factors, including maternal personal and family medical histories and first trimester ultrasound screening findings, for adverse fetal outcomes of twin pregnancy before 28 weeks of gestation.

Unlabelled: Twin pregnancies are associated with higher risks of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes compared to singleton pregnancies. This retrospective nationwide cohort study analyzed trends in twin pregnancy outcomes in Finland from 2008 to 2023 using data from the Finnish Medical Birth Register. Outcomes assessed included perinatal mortality, stillbirths, neonatal mortality, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admissions, and hospitalization rates at one week of age.

Background: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a birth defect of the heart that requires long-term care and often leads to additional health complications. Effective educational strategies are essential for improving health literacy and care outcomes. Despite affecting around 40,000 children annually in the United States, there is a gap in understanding children's health literacy, parental educational burdens, and the efficiency of health care providers in delivering education.

Rationale: Postpartum haemorrhage, defined as a blood loss of 500 mL or more within 24 hours of birth, is the leading global cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus, and affect an increasing number of women. Caesarean myomectomy is the surgical removal of fibroids during a caesarean section.

Objective: This study examined the potential link between maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (PPBMI) with neonatal outcomes in twin pregnancies.
Methods: This retrospective analysis records of 1,270 women with twin pregnancies, delivered at the Fujian Maternity and Child Health Hospital between 2019 and 2021, were retrospectively analysed. Women were diagnosed as underweight, normal BMI, and overweight/obese according to their PPBMI.
