Mortality was not significantly different between multiples and singletons according to overall gestational age, except for multiples born at ≤26 weeks. A significant higher risk of intraventricular hemorrhage and retinopathy of prematurity requiring treatment was found in multiples. A new strategy to improve the mortality of immature multiples born at ≤26 weeks of gestation should be developed.
