The results of a multihospital study involving a total of 588 twin pairs born in Chicago in 1970-1975 are reported, with special respect to differences in mortality between first and second twins by time as well as by cause of death. Mortality was higher in second than in first twins and most commonly occurred after delivery and was the result of immaturity and of respiratory distress syndrome.
报告了一项多医院研究的结果,该研究涉及1970年至1975年在芝加哥出生的总共588对双胞胎,特别关注第一胎和第二胎双胞胎在死亡时间以及死因方面的差异。第二胎双胞胎的死亡率高于第一胎,最常见于分娩后,是由不成熟和呼吸窘迫综合征导致的。
