摘　　要：This study aimed to compare the complications of preterm twins versus singletons and analyze differences across gestational ages.Preterm twins delivered between 2 March 2022 and 6 November 2022 were compared to an age-matched control group of singletons,involving 65 twins and 103 singletons.The most common complication in premature infants was neonatal jaundice(87.72%),followed by patent foramen ovale(79.76%)and neonatal respiratory distress syndrome(NRDS)(57.14%).Twins had significantly higher Apgar scores at 1,5,and 10 minutes compared to singletons.However,twins showed a higher incidence of ventricular septal defect(VSD)(7.69%)than singletons,with a statistically significant difference.In contrast,twins exhibited significantly lower rates of neonatal jaundice(78.46%),electrolyte imbalance(18.4%),and acid-base imbalance(9.23%)compared to singletons.Furthermore,as gestational age increased,the incidence of intrauterine infection,electrolyte and acid-base imbalances,neonatal coagulation disorders,patent ductus arteriosus(PDA),anemia,and NRDS in preterm infants gradually decreased,with all differences reaching statistical significance(P<0.05).These findings highlight the importance of close monitoring and timely management of complications in premature infants to prevent severe outcomes.
