The rate of caesarean sections in multiple births has grown sharply worldwide. The reason for this may be the results of large retrospective cohort studies from the 1990s, which displayed an increased risk of mortality and morbidity, especially for the second twin, in the case of vaginal births. Multiple monocentric analyses have not been able to confirm this. As a prospective, multicentre randomised study, the Twin Birth Study published in 2013, in which 105 clinics in 25 countries took part, showed that, under optimum conditions, there was no difference in neonatal and maternal mortality and morbidity if the birth was planned to be vaginal or via caesarean. Detailed analyses, which would be helpful in choosing the type of birth method and obstetric management in the event of vaginal birth, have not previously been published. Retrospective studies must be referred to for this.
