The first minute APGARscores for the first twins in the two groups were better than those of the second twins in all the 158 twin pairs. These tally with reports from studies carried out in Nigeria where APGAPscores of the first twins have been reported to be better than those of the second twins. In the group that was not induced, 5 out of 75 first twins had poor APGARscores in the 1st minute and by the 5th minute; there was persistence of poor APGARscores in 2 of the twins. The median APGARscores in the 1st minute for the whole study was 8 with extremes of 6-10;and in the 5th,the median APGARscores was 9 with extremes of 9-10.
