27 MATERNAL OUTCOME IN TWIN COMPARED TO SINGLETON GESTATION NGOC PHAN1,YVONNE CHENG1, TIM BRUCKNER2, DANNY W. WU1, AARON B. CAUGHEY1, 1University ofCalifornia, San Francisco, San Francisco, California, 2University of California,Berkeley,, California
OBJECTIVE: To estimate the risk of maternal complications in twin pregnanciescompared to singletons.
STUDY DESIGN: This is a retrospective cohort study of non-anomalous termbirths in 2003 in the U.S. Maternal outcomes of twin gestations were compared tothat of singletons. Statistical comparison was made using Chi-square test and mul-tivariable logistic analysis was used to control for confounders; singleton gestationwas designated as the referent.
RESULTS: There were 2,714,815 (98.6%) singleton and 39,790 (1.4%) twinterm (37-41 weeks) births meeting study criteria. Women with twins had higherrisk of complications compared to singletons, except for febrile morbidity andmeconium stained amniotic fluid (see Table).
CONCLUSION: Women with twin gestation are generally at higher risk of ma-ternal complication compared to singleton gestation. Thus, women undergoingassisted reproductive technology should be counseled regarding these risks.

28 THE IMPACT OF PRE-PREGNANCY BODY MASS INDEX ON PREGNANCY OUTCOMES INTRIPLET GESTATIONS ZOI RUSSELL1, HAMISU SALIHU1, ONEIL LYNCH1, VICTORIABELOGOLOVKIN1, 1University of South Florida, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Tampa,Florida
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of pre-pregnancy maternal body mass in-dex on the outcome of triplet gestations.
STUDY DESIGN: Triplet births in the State of Missouri from 1989 through 1997were analyzed. Obesity was defined as maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index(BMI) higher than or equal to 30. We assessed the association between obesity andthe following outcomes: stillbirth, preeclampsia, very preterm, small for gestationalage (SGA) and a composite adverse birth outcome.
RESULTS: As compared to normal weight mothers, the likelihood of stillbirthand pre-eclampsia was about four-fold (OR � 3.70; 95% CI � 1.37-9.97) andthree-fold (OR � 3.02; 95% CI � 1.69-5.40) respectively among obese mothers.Obese mothers were also about twice as likely to experience at least one of theadverse birth outcomes considered.
CONCLUSION: Obesity increases the risk for adverse perinatal outcomes in trip-let gestations. This observation could assist in the counseling of women consideringthe use of assisted reproductive technology (ART).

29 UTERINE DUPLICATION ANOMALIES AND OBSTETRIC OUTCOMES STEPHEN T.CHASEN1, YELENA HAVRYLIUK1, ROBERT TROIANO2, 1Weill Medical College of CornellUniversity, Obstetrics and Gynecology, New York, New York, 2Weill Medical Col-lege of Cornell University, Radiology, New York, New York
OBJECTIVE: Uterine anomalies have been associated with high rates of poor OBoutcomes.Studies are limited by the fact that diagnosis often follows poor out-comes, while women with no history of complications are less likely to be identi-fied.Our objective was to evaluate pregnancy outcomes in women with uterineanomalies identified in our regular obstetric population.
STUDY DESIGN: Review of OB ultrasound records identified women with evi-dence of duplication anomalies, including bicornuate, didelphic, and septate uteri.A duplicate cervix was documented in all those with uterine didelphys. OB out-comes were obtained from record review. Spontaneous abortions (SAB) due toaneuploidy were excluded. Women with a history of surgical repair were excluded.Chi-Square analysis was used for statistical comparison.
RESULTS: 48 women with duplication anomalies (22 bicornuate, 12 septate, 14didelphys) were identified, in whom 115 pregnancies were documented. Meanmaternal age was 31.1�5.6 years. A cerclage was placed in 6 pregnancies in 2 womenwith bicornuate uterus. SAB occurred in 26 pregnancies (22.6%), with only one at�12 weeks. There was one IUFD. There were 68 term births (59.1%), and 20preterm births (17.4%). Most preterm births occurred at 34-36 weeks, with only 3occurring at �34 weeks. Malpresentation complicated 39.3% of live births, and17.6% of all neonates were small for gestational age (SGA). Similar rates of SAB,preterm birth, and SGA were seen in the 3 groups of duplication anomalies. Mal-presentation was significantly less common with septate uterus compared to bicor-nuate or didelphys uteri (12.5% vs. 42.9% and 52.6%; p�.04). In women with aprior SAB, preterm birth occurred more frequently than in those with no history ofSAB (37.9% vs. 15.8%; p�.03).
CONCLUSION: In our population, most women with duplication anomalies de-livered at or near term, with malpresentation occurring commonly. In women withno history of poor outcome, surgical repair or prophylactic cerclage is not indi-cated. Prior miscarriage might identify those at higher risk of preterm birth.

30 OUTCOME OF HYPOGASTRIC ARTERY EMBOLIZATION FOR PLACENTAACCRETA CLARISSA BONANNO1, KARIN FUCHS1, FADI MIRZA1, KIRSTEN CLEARY1,SREEDAR GADDIPATI1, JASON WRIGHT1, PATRICIA DEVINE1, 1Columbia University, NewYork, New York
OBJECTIVE: To compare outcomes of patients with placenta accreta undergo-ing hypogastric artery embolization (HAE) at cesarean hysterectomy versus thoseundergoing hysterectomy alone.
STUDY DESIGN: This was a retrospective cohort study of patients with a prena-tal diagnosis of placenta accreta from January of 2000 to June 2008. Placenta accretawas confirmed for all patients by pathological review of hysterectomy specimens.Patients with preoperative placement of hypogastric artery catheters and intraop-erative embolization were compared to patients who underwent hysterectomyalone. Records were reviewed to determine EBL, transfusion requirements, rate ofICU admission, need for reoperation, and postoperative length of stay.
RESULTS: Of 30 patients with a preoperative diagnosis of placenta accreta, 7underwent hysterectomy with intraoperative embolization and 23 underwent hys-terectomy alone. Patients who underwent HAE had significantly higher estimatedblood loss (mean 9700 and range 1800-16000 vs. mean 5600 and range 1500-20000), transfusion requirements, rates of ICU admission, and longer postopera-tive hospitalizations. One patient undergoing HAE developed extensive arterialthrombi requiring thrombectomy.
CONCLUSION: Hypogastric artery embolization at cesarean hysterectomy didnot improve surgical outcomes and does not prevent massive hemorrhage. How-ever, studies of this nature are inherently influenced by selection bias and a ran-domized controlled trial is needed to determine the utility of embolization in theseat-risk patients.
