According to increasing rate of using assisted reproductive technology (ART) which result in higher rates of multiple birth and natal difficulties, we aimed to determine the prevalence rate of multiple birth pregnancies.
A descriptive cross-sectional study evaluating birth files in 2009-2010 of main hospitals of Isfahan, Iran.
Among 31640 files' studies, 614 cases of multiple birth pregnancies were investigated. The product of these pregnancies were 1286 (50.2% females) infants including 557 twins (17.6/1000), 56 triplets (1.8/1000), and one case of quadruple (0.03/1000). Infants weigh <2500 g were 84.9% of all. Mothers had a mean age of 27.9 ± 4.9 which 30.4% of them had a positive history of using ART.
The prevalence of multiple birth pregnancies is growing. The need for more mother and child care is important. Using ART world wide is leading more multiple birth which could be a cause for more complicated pregnancies.
随着辅助生殖技术（ART）使用比例的增加，导致多胎妊娠和分娩困难的发生率升高，我们旨在确定多胎妊娠的患病率。
一项描述性横断面研究，评估了伊朗伊斯法罕主要医院2009 - 2010年的出生档案。
在对31640份档案的研究中，调查了614例多胎妊娠病例。这些妊娠的产物为1286名婴儿（50.2%为女性），其中包括557对双胞胎（17.6/1000）、56例三胞胎（1.8/1000）和1例四胞胎（0.03/1000）。体重<2500克的婴儿占所有婴儿的84.9%。母亲的平均年龄为27.9±4.9岁，其中30.4%有使用ART的阳性史。
多胎妊娠的患病率正在上升。加强母婴护理的需求很重要。全球范围内使用ART导致更多的多胎妊娠，这可能是妊娠更复杂的一个原因。
