Dysglycaemia in small-for-gestational-age neonates: a matched case-control study in monochorionic twins.

Objective: Small-for-gestational-age (SGA) neonates (birth weight <10th centile) are at higher risk of altered glucose homeostasis compared to appropriate for gestational age (AGA) neonates. The aim of this matched case-control study was to estimate the incidence of hypoglycaemia and/or hyperglycaemia in monochorionic (MC) twins with selective intrauterine growth restriction (sIUGR).

Methods: We included all MC twins with sIUGR (2002-2013).
