Abstract
We read with great interest the recent study 1 on neonatal outcomes in twin pregnancies undergoing cesarean section. The study’s conclusion regarding the factors strongly associated with poor neonatal outcomes in twins delivered by cesarean section is particularly noteworthy. The findings highlight the significant impact of general anesthesia, emergency surgery, early gestational weeks, and birth weight below the 3rd weight percentile on neonatal well-being. Understanding these influential factors in twin pregnancies undergoing cesarean section is crucial for clinicians and healthcare providers. It not only aids in risk assessment but also allows for better-informed decision-making when planning and performing cesarean sections for twin pregnancies. The study’s 1 emphasis on these specific factors provides valuable insights that can contribute to improving the overall care and outcomes for both mothers and their neonates in twin pregnancies. However, we believe that the following aspects require further clarification.
