متن کاملVaginal delivery can be considered in monochorionic diamniotic twins.
The outcomes of 60 sets of monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) twins were compared with 218 sets of dichorionic diamniotic (DCDA) twins. The caesarean section rates for MCDA were similar to those for DCDA twins (56.6 versus 53.6%, P > 0.1).

متن کاملProspective risk of intrauterine death of monochorionic-diamniotic twins.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to calculate the prospective risk of fetal death in monochorionic-diamniotic twins. STUDY DESIGN We evaluated 193 monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancies that were followed and delivered after 24 weeks. Surveillance included cardiotocography and sonography performed at least once weekly. The prospective risk of fetal death was calculated as the total ...
متن کاملUncomplicated Monochorionic Diamniotic Twins and the Timing of Delivery
I n the past 20 years, advancing maternal age and greater reliance on assisted-conception techniques have dramatically increased the incidence of multiple births, including monochorionic twins (see Glossary) [1,2]. Concomitantly, there have been advances in our understanding of these high-risk pregnancies. The offspring of multiple pregnancies are at greater risk for adverse perinatal outcomes ...
