Abstract

Aim: We aimed to evaluate the outcomes of multiple pregnancies between January 2016 and December 2020 in our hospital, which is a tertiary center.
 Materials and Methods: 107 multiple pregnancies were included in the study among 6567 pregnant women who were delivered between January 2016 and December 2020 in Muğla University Training and Research Hospital Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic. Of these retrospectively evaluated pregnant women, 106 were twins and 1 was triplet. 
 Results: It was determined that 87 (80.18%) twin pregnancies were diamniotic-dichorionic, 11 (10.37%) were dichorionic-monoamniotic, and 8 (7.54%) were monochorionic-monoamniotic, respectively. 76 (71.69%) of the deliveries were with preterm delivery and 30 (28.3%) of the pregnant women were delivered at term. Twelve (11.1%) twin pregnancies were delivered by vaginal delivery, and 96 (88.9%) by cesarean section (C/S). No statistical difference was observed in terms of blood loss when the C/S and vaginal delivery groups were compared. When compared in terms of hospitalization time, it was found that the hospitalization period was shorter in the vaginal delivery group.
 Conclusion: The clinical results of our study are similar to the current literature. In our study, what we evaluated differently from the literature is blood loss and hospitalization time between C/S and vaginal delivery. There was no difference between C/S and vaginal delivery in terms of blood loss, and it was observed that the hospitalization period of patients who had vaginal delivery was shorter.
