Correlation analysis of birth weight and neonatal complications in preterm twins with discordant birth weight
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical Pediatrics - Year 2025, Vol 43, Issue 5
Abstract
[Objective] To select inconsistent birth weight twins who were preterm, and evaluate the relationship between birth weight and neonatal complications. [Methods] Twins with inconsistent birth weights who were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in three hospitals in Xinxiang City from January 2018 to May 2024 were selected, totaling 112 pairs. The twins with inconsistent birth weights were divided into a higher birth weight group (n=112) and a lower birth weight group (n=112). The incidence of complications such as neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) and respiratory support in both groups were compared. [Results] The lower birth weight group had more small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infants compared to the higher birth weight group, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.001). The incidence of NRDS in the higher birth weight group was higher than in the lower birth weight group (P<0.05), while the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) was lower in the higher birth weight group compared to the lower birth weight group (P<0.05). [Conclusion] In twins with inconsistent birth weights, those with higher birth weights are more likely to develop NRDS, while those with lower birth weights are more likely to develop BPD.
