Fetal growth restriction, neonatal morbidity and placental pathology in dichorionic twins-a comparison of twin-specific versus singleton growth charts‏‏.

Introduction: Fetal growth restriction (FGR) in dichorionic diamniotic (DCDA) twin gestations is a known complication associated with adverse neonatal outcomes. The international guidelines have no consensus on whether to use singleton or twin-specific growth charts. Thus, we aimed to compare growth charts in correlation with pregnancy outcomes and placental histopathology.

Is there an impact of fetal sex in dichorionic discordant twins on placental histopathological abnormalities?

Introduction: Growth discordancy in dichorionic diamniotic (DCDA) twin gestations is a known complication associated with adverse neonatal outcomes. We aimed to study the differences in placental pathology, in relation to fetal sex, in DCDA twin gestations complicated with growth discordancy.

Methods: The medical files of all DCDA twin deliveries complicated by growth discordancy between 2010 and 2020 were reviewed.

Should the interval between doses of antenatal corticosteroids be shortened in certain cases? Factors predicting preterm delivery < 48 h from presentation.

Purpose: Treatment with antenatal corticosteroids (ACS) to women at risk for preterm birth (PTB) is associated with a reduction in adverse neonatal outcomes. Obstetricians occasionally shorten the interval between the doses of steroids if delivery is predicted to occur before ACS are fully administered. In this study, we aimed to investigate predicting factors to identify patients that will deliver prematurely, less than 48 h from presentation.

The association between isolated oligohydramnios at term and placental pathology in correlation with pregnancy outcomes.

Introduction: Isolated term oligohydramnios (ITO) is an obstetrical complication of which the etiology, management, and clinical importance are controversial. In attempt to deepen our understanding, we aimed to study placental pathology and pregnancy outcomes in pregnancies complicated by ITO.

Materials And Methods: - Maternal demographics, neonatal outcomes, and placental histopathology reports of all pregnancies complicated by ITO at 37 to 41 weeks were reviewed.
