MBRRACE-UK Perinatal confidential enquiry: Stillbirths and neonatal deaths in twin pregnancies (January 2021)

Summary

This report represents the findings of the fourth perinatal confidential enquiry carried out as part of the MBRRACE-UK programme of work and focuses on stillbirths and neonatal deaths in twin pregnancies.

It contains illustrative vignettes which are taken from real life events. The vignettes are used to illustrate single aspects of care and are not intended to describe all the care provided to individual mothers and their babies. The vignettes are often a combination of events from the care of more than one mother and her babies and are described such that it is not possible to identify the individuals involved.

The report sets out many key findings and recommendations based on different stages and aspects of care.
