Abstract

Background: Twin birth is considered a high-risk obstetrical situation. Despite the progress in obstetrical and pediatric care that has occurred in recent years, twin delivery is still associated with high maternal morbidity and peri-natal mortality. Few recent studies have focused on the complications and risk factors associated with complications of twin birth in our environment. The objective of our study was to identify the complications of twin birth and the factors associated with them. Methodology: We carried out a cross-sectional analytical study. Data collection was prospective, over a period of 4 months (January 1, 2022 to April 30, 2022), at the maternity units of the Gyneco-Obstetric and Pediatric Hospital of Yaoundé and the Central Hospital of Yaoundé. The study population included all pregnant women who gave birth to twins during our study period at these hospitals. Data analysis was done using the SPSS software (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) version 23.0. The Chi-square test was used to compare proportions and the student’s t test to compare

双胎分娩并发症及相关因素:一项基于医院的横断面分析研究

背景:双胞胎被认为是一种高危的产科情况。尽管近年来在产科和儿科护理方面取得了进展，但双胞胎分娩仍然与高产妇发病率和围产期死亡率有关。最近很少有研究关注我们环境中与双胞胎并发症相关的并发症和危险因素。我们研究的目的是确定双胞胎出生的并发症及其相关因素。方法:我们进行了横断面分析研究。数据收集是前瞻性的，为期4个月(2022年1月1日至2022年4月30日)，在雅温得妇产儿科医院和雅温得中心医院的产科病房进行。研究人群包括我们研究期间在这些医院生下双胞胎的所有孕妇。数据分析使用SPSS软件(Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) 23.0版本。用卡方检验比较比例，用学生t检验比较
