Amniotic fluid discordance in monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancies is associated with increased risk for twin anemia-polycythemia sequence

Objective To estimate the risk for twin anemia–polycythemia sequence (TAPS) and adverse perinatal outcome in monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) twin pregnancies with amniotic fluid discordance (AFD). Methods Retrospective cohort study of 34 MCDA pregnancies with AFD (intertwin difference of ≥3 cm in ma...

description Objective To estimate the risk for twin anemia–polycythemia sequence (TAPS) and adverse perinatal outcome in monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) twin pregnancies with amniotic fluid discordance (AFD). Methods Retrospective cohort study of 34 MCDA pregnancies with AFD (intertwin difference of ≥3 cm in maximal vertical pocket measurement) without meeting the criteria for twin to twin transfusion syndrome or selective intrauterine growth restriction. Perinatal outcome measures and the risk for TAPS were compared with a control group consisted of 101 MCDA twin pregnancies without AFD, twin to twin transfusion syndrome, or selective intrauterine growth restriction. Composite neonatal morbidity was defined as the presence of respiratory distress syndrome, intraventricular hemorrhage grades 3 and 4, necrotizing enterocolitis or sepsis. Results Overall, in the AFD group, seven twin pairs (20.6%) were complicated by TAPS compared with none in the controls (p
