Objective To evaluate the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) in twin pregnancies. Methods The retrospective study included 200 twin (dichorionic/ diamniotic and monochorionic/diamniotic) and 200 singleton pregnancies (control group). All pregnant women were in the first trimester (0.05). Conclusion Physiological inflammatory/immune reaction of early pregnancy may affect PLR values in twin pregnancies. We observed that chorionicity is considerable for these inflammatory indices, especially for dichorionic twin pregnancies. However, we could not detect a significant change in SII values in twin pregnancy.
