This finding showed that the prevalence of twin birth outcome accounts 23.4% (95 % CI, 19.2-27.5). Low birth weight 9.1%, stillbirth 4.2%, Apgar score < 7 9.1%, and neonatal death 1 % were accounted. Hypertension disorder (95% CI, 6.01(2.43-14.87)), rural residence (95% CI 2.46(1.39-4.37)), PROM (95% CI 6.39(2.52-16.16)), and no ANC follow-up (95% CI, 13.47(2.49-72.85)) were significantly associated with adverse twin birth. Conclusions and Recommendations. Magnitude of twins' adverse birth outcome was 23.4%. Hypertension disorder, rural residence, PROM, and no ANC follow-up were significant variables for twins' adverse birth outcome. Therefore, all healthcare providers should give sustainable educations and instructions about the importance of sticking with the recommended ANC follow-up.
