摘要：
Data on conjoined twins have been collected from 14 different malformation monitoring programs around the world. Among over 28 million births, 312 cases were identified. After considering underascertainment in one large program, the best estimate of the incidence based on the sum of induced abortions and births is 1.3 per 100,000 births. The distribution according to type of twinning, the sex distribution (39% males) and the stillbirth rate (47%) are presented. The presence of malformations not directly related to the area of fusion is discussed. In three women, thyroid disease was present and five women had been treated for infertility before conception.
