Objective: To compare the incidence <strong>of</strong> gestational hypertensive disorders (GHD) in twin<br />

pregnancies complicated by intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) to singleton IUGR pregnancies.<br />

Methods: A database <strong>and</strong> chart review <strong>of</strong> all pregnancies (twins <strong>and</strong> singletons) delivered at 23-41<br />

weeks at a tertiary referral centre from July 2002 to 2007 was performed. Patients’ characteristics<br />

as well as birth weight, chorionicity <strong>and</strong> umbilical artery Doppler were collected. GHD included<br />

gestational hypertension <strong>and</strong> preeclampsia. IUGR was defined as birth weight ≤ 10 percentile using<br />

twin <strong>and</strong> singleton curves respectively. Chi-square <strong>and</strong> Student t test were used when appropriate.<br />

Results: 815 twin pregnancies <strong>and</strong> 16 666 singletons were delivered during the study period.<br />

16.1% <strong>of</strong> twin pregnancies were complicated by IUGR <strong>of</strong> one twin (25% <strong>of</strong> them were<br />

monochorionic) compared to an incidence <strong>of</strong> 2.8% <strong>of</strong> IUGR in singleton pregnancies (p
