title: [Analysis of prognostic factors in a group of infants from multiple pregnancy and very low birth weight].
abstract: Preterm birth remains a major cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality. The purpose of the study was to examine factors influencing on the survival and early prognosis of very low birth weight premature infants in multiple gestation born at the Department of Obstetrics and Perinatology University School of Medicine in Lublin. Congenital malformations were excluded from the study.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  In this retrospective analysis the reduction in the incidence of respiratory distress syndrome in multiple gestation was observed. Survival was significantly correlated to prenatal corticoid prophylaxis, Apgar score and lack of the respiratory distress syndrome. The mortality showed an inverse correlation to birth weight and age of gestation.
