In the preterm group 38 (16.8%) pregnancies were assisted medical reproduction, and 16 (11.7%) of those were in the term group. The average birth weight was significantly higher for the first twin in both groups (p&amp;amp;lt;0.00001). Incipient intrauterine foetal asphyxia was more frequent in the preterm group (p&amp;amp;lt;0.05). The most common indication for Caesarean section was abnormalities of foetal presentation and lie, 176 (68.2%) for the overall sample. &amp;lt;br \/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Conclusion&amp;lt;br \/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt; Cornerstone of twin pregnancy antenatal care is to get correct data about amnionicity and chorionicity. Since majority of prenatal data did not have this information we call all obstetricians to declare about amnionicity and chorionicity in twin pregnancies during the first trimester ultrasound examination.&amp;lt;\/p&amp;gt;<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.17392\/1148-20","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,21]],"date-time":"2024-04-21T10:28:16Z","timestamp":1713695296000},"page":"465-471","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Preterm and term birth in twin pregnancies during a seven-year period: a call for obstetricians to declare about amnionicity and chorionicity"],"prefix":"10.17392","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7209-382X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anis","family":"Cerovac","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"General Hospital Te\u0161anj","place":["Te\u0161anj,Bosnia and Herzegovina"],"department":["Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics"]},{"name":"School of Medicine, University of Tuzla","place":["Tuzla,Bosnia and Herzegovina"],"department":["Department of Anatomy"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gordana","family":"Grgi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinic for Gynaecology and Obstetrics, University Clinical Centre Tuzla","place":["Tuzla,Bosnia and Herzegovina"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"D\u017eenana","family":"Softi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"D\u017eenita","family":"Ljuca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinic for Gynaecology and Obstetrics, University Clinical Centre Tuzla","place":["Tuzla,Bosnia and Herzegovina"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sergije","family":"Markovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, University of Tuzla","place":["Tuzla,Bosnia and Herzegovina"],"department":["Department of Histology and Embryology"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amer","family":"Mand\u017ei\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinic for Gynaecology and Obstetrics, University Clinical Centre Tuzla","place":["Tuzla,Bosnia and Herzegovina"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"49509","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","first-page":"330","article-title":"FIGO Working Group on Good Clinical Practice in Maternal-Fetal Medicine.
