In twin pregnancy women with a history of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) are a high-risk group for preterm birth. Using the comprehensive Swedish medical birth and national patient registers almost 1.5 million births over a 15-year period, between 1995 and 2009, were identified. Of these, 20,965 were twin births of which 223 (1.1%) were to women who had a diagnosis of PCOS.
