“…It has been reported that velamentous cord insertion (VCI) in monochorionic twin pregnancies is more frequent than in either dichorionic twins or singletons [14,15]. Several authors reported a strong correlation between VCI and the onset of TTTS [16,17], whereas other studies were not in agreement [15,18,19].…”

“…However, these studies were compromised by a small sample size and/or incomplete data. On the other hand, several recent studies came to an opposite conclusion [15,18,19]. These studies collected data from tertiary hospitals for complicated pregnancies; thus, they might not reflect the general twin population.…”

“…Notification of any malformation was done by the attending physician at birth or at the neonatal care unit. The association between anomalous cord insertion and birthweight discordance between twins (defined as the absolute difference in birthweight between the twins expressed as a percentage of the weight of the larger twin) was determined, with a difference of >20% regarded as discordant [11].…”

“…Velamentous and marginal insertions are reported to occur in 0.5–2.4% and 8.5% of all pregnancies, respectively [2], [3], [10], with the prevalence being higher in multiple pregnancies [11] and in pregnancies conceived with the aid of assisted reproductive technology [12]. However, these prevalence rates are derived from hospital registers, which might be influenced by selection bias, and population-based studies are lacking.…”
