Abstract
This review analyzes the multiple pregnancies in King Khalid University Hospital (KKUH) from January 1985 to December 1989. Over this period, the incidence of multiple pregnancy was found to be 10.25/1000. The study confirms a higher incidence of complications among multiple pregnancy cases. For example, the cesarean section rate was 32.2% as compared with 3.6% for the single pregnancies, and the neonatal deaths occurred in a higher number (3.3%) as compared to 1.0% in the controls. However, even though the overall prematurity rate (</=34 weeks) of 18.2% is high, this is lower than in other reports.
