Abstrakt     Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to establish early pregnancy risk indicators for spontaneous twin very preterm birth. Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational population-based study. Twenty-one potential early pregnancy risk factors were analyzed using multivariable logistic regression to determine which of them was independently associated with spontaneous twin very preterm birth. Results: Of 1815 spontaneous twin births 15.3% (277) occurred before 32 weeks. Previous preterm delivery (aOR 3.73; 95% CI, 2.52-5.52), nulliparity (aOR 2.94; 95% CI, 2.09-4.14), body mass index <18.5 (aOR 1.86; 95% CI, 1.12-3.10), body mass index %30 (aOR 1.87; 95% CI, 1.21-2.89), hysteroscopic metroplasty (aOR 1.63; 1.07-2.49), conization (aOR 2.05; 95% CI, 1.07-3.94) and monochorionicity (aOR 1.83; 95% CI, 1.28-2.63) were significantly associated with twin very preterm birth. Conclusions: Pending verification in other populations, twin pregnancies at significant risk for spontaneous very preterm birth can be identified in early pregnancy using several risk indicators
