DOI: 10.1136/archdischild-2020-318950
Abstract: Multiple births (twins or higher order multiples) are increasing in developed countries and may present higher risk for cerebral palsy (CP). However, few studies can reliably investigate trends over time because these outcomes are relatively… read more here.
