Indução do parto em gravidezes gemelares vs gravidezes únicas: revisão sistemática

To determine if the induction of labor in twin pregnancies is associated with greater risk of cesarean delivery than the induction of labor in single pregnancies, we performed a systematic review. Only in one of three studies included cesarean delivery after induction is more frequent in twin than in single pregnancies. Through a multivariable analysis, maternal age and nulliparity are more important risk factors to cesarean delivery than twin pregnancy. Twin pregnancies have a higher risk of cesarean delivery than single pregnancies, but this does not appear to be related with induction of labor.
