Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the risks of intrauterine fetal death, neonatal death, perinatal death, and neonatal complications in two types of twin pregnancies: monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) and dichorionic diamniotic (DCDA).
- It involved 378 MCDA and 1,282 DCDA twin pregnancies from a public hospital between 2011 and 2018, excluding high-risk cases.
- Results indicated that MCDA twins had higher rates of perinatal death, neonatal morbidity, preterm delivery, and low birth weight compared to DCDA twins, but the risk of late intrauterine fetal death was low with proper monitoring.
- The study concluded that careful fetal monitoring and delaying deliveries can mitigate
