Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate neonatal mortality rates among discordant twins, classified according to the birth weight of the smaller twin.Study design: We compared neonatal mortality rates among three groups of discordant twins (>25%), distinguished by the birth weight of the smaller twin being 50th percentile.Results: Among the 10,683 pairs of twins who were studied, the respective proportions of the three groups were 62.4%, 32.9%, and 4.7%. The neonatal mortality rate was significantly higher among pairs in which the smaller twin weighed
