It is well established that mothers with twin gestations are at a significant risk of giving birth to a premature infant and, compared to singletons, the perinatal mortality and morbidity are significantly increased. Unfortunately, it is clear that little progress has been made over the past two decades in either the prevention or the treatment of premature labor in twins. The clinician is left with more questions than answers. This latter aspect needs to be recognized by the legal profession. Obviously, more studies regarding the possible beneficial effect of either bedrest or prophylactic beta-sympathomimetics are needed before meaningful recommendations can be made on a universal basis. It is also obvious that more potent tocolytic agents are needed to actually treat premature labor once it occurs. Taking all of these facts into consideration, the authors would recommend the protocol outlined in Table 3 for the general management of twins with regard to premature labor.
