The small-for-gestational-age twin: blessing or curse?

Objective: To compare small-for-gestational-age (SGA) twins to appropriate-for-gestational-age (AGA) twins regarding preterm delivery (PTD).

Study Design: Retrospective review of maternal and neonatal records of live, nonanomalous twins > or = 25 weeks' gestation delivered in 1984-2000 in a tertiary care center. Pregnancies (N = 679) were divided into AGA/ AGA (n = 347), SGA-AGA (n = 191) and SGA/SGA (n = 141) groups using singleton growth curves.
