While planned cesarean births have declined among twins, intrapartum cesarean deliveries have risen, postulating evaluation of criteria for trial of labor. The objective of this study was to create an outline of the mode of delivery of dichorionic and monochorionic\u2010diamniotic Finnish twins. By evaluating risk factors for intrapartum cesarean delivery (CD), we aimed at creating a risk score for intrapartum cesarean birth for twins.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A retrospective observational study based on a cohort of dichorionic and monochorionic\u2010diamniotic twin pregnancies considered as candidates for trial of labor in 2006, 2010, 2014, and 2018 (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009720) was performed. Differences between parturients with vaginal delivery and intrapartum CD to identify potential risk factors for intrapartum CD were assessed.

Induction of labor, primiparity, fear of childbirth, artificial reproductive technology, higher maternal age, and other than cephalic\/cephalic presentation independently associated with intrapartum CD. The achieved total risk score ranged from 0 to 13 points with significantly higher points among the CD group (6.61 vs. 4.42, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
