AbstractObjective:To evaluate the influence of gestational diabetes mellitus on weight discrepancy in twin pregnancies.Methods:200 twin pregnancies were included in the study. 157 nondiabetic pregnant women with twin gestations and 43 twin pregnancies with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) with viable fetuses born after 24 weeks of gestation were enrolled. Influence of maternal age, body-mass-index at the time of the oral glucose tolerance test, parity, smoking, chorionicity, gestational age at delivery and diagnosis of GDM on weight discrepancy of the twins was evaluated.Results:Mean weight discrepancy of all analyzed twin pregnancies was 285 grams (± 231), relative weight discrepancy was 11.3% (± 8.6). Univariate regression analyses showed that GDM, chorionicity and gestational age at delivery were significantly associated with weight discrepancy. In the multivariate model only diagnosis of GDM was significantly associated with weight discrepancy.Conclusion:Twin pregnancies with insulin requiring gestational diabetes seem to have less birth weight discrepancy than twin pregnancies with normal glucose tolerance.

Objective: To determine the perinatal outcome of monochorionic twin pregnancies complicated by twin anemia-polycythemia sequence (TAPS). Methods: All monochorionic twins diagnosed with TAPS between 2011 and 2014 were included. Each twin pair with TAPS (study group) was compared with 2 uncomplicated monochorionic twin pairs who were matched for gestational age at delivery (control group). Neonatal morbidity and mortality were evaluated. Results: During the study period, 179 monochorionic twins were followed at our center, of whom 46 underwent laser ablation due to twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. TAPS was diagnosed in 10 cases; 8 of them were spontaneous, and 2 occurred following laser surgery. Out of 7 patients diagnosed prenatally with TAPS, 5 cases were managed expectantly, and 2 cases were treated with intrauterine blood transfusion. The rates of severe and mild central nervous system lesions on postnatal ultrasound were similar in the TAPS group and control group (5.0 vs. 2.5%, p = 0.61, and 5.0 vs. 12.5%, p = 0.25, respectively). Additionally, severe neonatal morbidity was comparable between the groups. All neonates were alive at 1 month of age. Conclusion: The neonatal outcome of monocohorionic twins affected by TAPS is favorable and comparable to gestational age-matched uncomplicated monochorionic twins.

Abstract Objective To evaluate the outcome of twin pregnancies that were complicated by rupture of membranes at 13–20 weeks of gestation and were managed by expectant management or by selective termination. Methods A retrospective cohort study of all bichorionic twin pregnancies that were referred to three fetal medicine units between 2001 and 2016, due to rupture of membranes of one sac at 13–20 weeks of gestation. Women without clinical signs of infection who opted for expectant management or selective termination were included. Results 20 patients met the inclusion criteria. 7 of them were managed expectantly and 13 underwent selective termination. In the expectant management group there was one case of fetal demise and two cases of neonatal death, resulting in a survival rate of 79 %. The median gestational age at delivery was 30 weeks. 3 neonates suffered from prematurity-related complications and 2 suffered from oligohydramnios-related orthopedic complications. Following selective termination the survival rate was 50 % (all fetuses that were not reduced), the median gestational age at delivery was 39 weeks, and the neonatal outcome was favorable. The maternal outcome was favorable in both groups. Conclusion Selective termination in twin pregnancies complicated by rupture of membranes at 13–20 weeks has a favorable outcome and should be offered.
