An analysis of the neonatal period of 277 twins was carried out and the results were compared with those of a control group. The conditions of the twins are significantly worse than those of singletons. This is due to the increased possibility of hazards of pregnancy and labor, as well as to prematurity and intrauterine malnutrition of the babies.
