    Although twin pregnancies have been shown to increase postpartum maternal mortality, the evidence regarding the impact on long-term survival of mothers after twin pregnancies is limited.1 A study of Finnish women showed mothers who had delivered twins had reduced survival after the age of 65 compared with mothers who...
