Intrapair birthweight discordance in twins.
BACKGROUND Birthweight differences in twin pairs influence their perinatal outcome as well as growth and development. Growth-discordant twins have not been well characterized in our local environment. OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency of birthweight discordance in live-born twin pairs and document some factors that may influence it. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, 104 live-born tw...
متن کاملIntrauterine growth pattern and birthweight discordance in twin pregnancies: a retrospective study
BACKGROUND Twins, compared to singletons, have an increased risk of perinatal mortality and morbidity, due mainly to a higher prevalence of preterm birth and low birthweight. Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is also common and can affect one or both fetuses. In some cases, however, one twin is much smaller than the other (growth discordance). Usually, high birthweight discordance is assoc...
متن کاملPlacental pathology, birthweight discordance, and growth restriction in twin pregnancy: results of the ESPRiT Study.
OBJECTIVE We sought to evaluate the association between placental histological abnormalities and birthweight discordance and growth restriction in twin pregnancies. STUDY DESIGN We performed a multicenter, prospective study of twin pregnancies. Placentas were examined for evidence of infarction, retroplacental hemorrhage, chorangioma, subchorial fibrin, or abnormal villus maturation. Associat...
متن کاملPlacental cord insertion and birthweight discordance in twin pregnancies: results of the national prospective ESPRiT Study.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of noncentral placental cord insertion on birthweight discordance in twins. STUDY DESIGN We performed a multicenter, prospective trial of twin pregnancies. Placental cord insertion was documented as central, marginal, or velamentous according to a defined protocol. Association of the placental cord insertion site with chorionicity...
متن کاملThe relationship between birthweight discordance and perinatal mortality of one of the twins in a twin pair.
This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of birthweight discordance among twins, to determine the risk cut-off point for birthweight discordance, and to clarify whether perinatal deaths are aggravated by birthweight discordance or by low birthweight itself. A population-based analysis of all twins born between 1995 and 1999 in Japan was conducted using data collected from national birth, dea...
