| مستخلص: | Background: To determine if the first twin (Twin I) weighs more than the second twin (Twin II). Methods: One hundred and seventeen sets of twins delivered at the Federal Medical Centre Makurdi, Nigeria over a three year period between 1st January, 2005 and 31st December2007 were reviewed. Results: Of the 117 sets of twins in the study, 9 (7.7%) were of equal weights while in 57 (48.7%) sets Twin I were heavier than Twin II. In 51 (43.6%) sets Twin II were heavier than Twin I. The mean birth weight of Twin I was 2.460 +/- 0.436 Kg while that of Twin II was 2.390 +/- 0.451 Kg, (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Twin I was often heavier than twin II. The difference in the mean birth weight of twin I and Twin II was statistically significant in favour of Twin I. |
