R5.35. Twin births In 2000, the Journal of the American Medical
Association published a study that examined a sample of
pregnancies that resulted in the birth of twins. Births were
classified as preterm with intervention (induced labor or ce-
sare an), preterm without such procedures, or term or post-
term. Researchers also classified the pregnancies by the
level of prenatal medical care the mother received (inade-
quate, adequate, or intensive). The data, from the years
1995-1997, are summarized in the table below. Figures are
in thousands of births. (JAMA 284 [2000]: 335-341)
