Intrapartum influences on cesarean delivery in multiple gestation.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate which intrapartum factors influence the method of delivery in a group of twin pregnancies eligible for vaginal delivery. STUDY DESIGN:Over a 10-year period, 967 consecutive twin pregnancies at gestational age >/=32 weeks with twin A presenting as a vertex and eligible for vaginal delivery were reviewed. Excluded were 40 (4.1%) patients who underwent a repeat and elective cesarean section. All patients who underwent a cesarean section were placed into one of two groups according to the method of delivery of both twins: group 1, cesarean section/cesarean section delivery; and group 2, vaginal/cesarean section delivery. The impact of the following intrapartum factors on the type of delivery were assessed: (1) presentation of the 2nd twin: vertex vs. breech vs. other; (2) experience of the obstetrician: 10 years in practice; (3) multiparity: nulliparous vs. multiparous; (4) incidence of epidural usage; (5) induction vs. spontaneous labor; and (6) difference in fetal weight between twin B and twin A: /= 25% difference. The chi-square statistic was used to compare differences in the incidence of cesarean section between the groups. RESULTS:Total incidence of cesarean section was 266/927 (28.7%). Risk of delivering by a combined vaginal delivery and cesarean section was reduced if the presentation of twin B was vertex or breech (RR: 0.114; 95% confidence interval: 0.049-0.266) or if an epidural was used (RR: 0.380; 95% confidence interval: 0.163-0.883). In twin gestations eligible for vaginal delivery the risk of requiring delivery by cesarean section for both twins is reduced if the presentation of twin B was vertex (RR: 0.782; 95% confidence interval; 0.631-0.968), if an epidural was used (RR: 0.461; 95% confidence interval: 0.375-0.566), or if the birthweight discrepancy was
