Perinatal morbidity and mortality in twin pregnancies.

We reviewed 488 twin pregnancies that resulted in the birth of neonates weighing 1000 g or more. Complications were present in 56.7% of all pregnancies; most common were threat of premature labor (17.4%) and preeclampsia (14.5%). Perinatal mortality was 31.8 per thousand. Eighty percent of neonatal deaths in twin pregnancies involved newborns weighing less than 2000 g. Twin pregnancies are high risk pregnancies and benefit from early diagnosis, prevention and treatment of the threat of premature birth.

Induction of dead fetus labor with 15-(S)-methyl prostaglandin F2 alpha.

This study examines whether labor can be induced with the intramuscular administration of 15-(S)-methyl prostaglandin F2 alpha in cases of intrauterine fetal death. The success rate of labor induction in the studied group was 93.75%, and was the same for primigravid and multigravid patients. The authors conclude that the prophylactic administration of an analgesic potentiator, an anti-emetic and an anti-diarrheal is advantageous to a woman's tolerance of the prostaglandin. PGF2 alpha is a quick and effective drug for use in the induction of labor to terminate pregnancies with intrauterine fetal death and offers tolerable side-effects when used with adjuvant medication.
