In our study, growth discrepancy between twins was significantly correlated to adverse neonatal outcomes, while intertwin delivery time was not an influencing factor. So, in line with this result, in our clinical practice, we do not use a fixed time in which both twins should be delivered, neither in monochorionic nor in dichorionic pregnancies, when fetal wellbeing was demonstrated during labor.
It seems that some thrombophilias and a combination of thrombophilic factors carry a greater risk than others for a given adverse outcome. Further studies are needed to check the link between thrombophilic gene mutations and adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as recurrent miscarriages and deep venous thrombosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
