Factors associated with the vaginal delivery of twins were compared between research (n = 96 successful vaginal deliveries) and comparison groups (n = 18 intrapartum cesarean deliveries). Five variables were included in the model. Models were developed and the score for each variable was given according to the multiple-factor regression analysis index and nomogram.
