Predicting Adverse Perinatal Outcomes in Dichorionic Twin Pregnancies: A Multicentre Cohort Study.

Objective: Dichorionic twin pregnancies are associated with increased risks of stillbirth or medically indicated early preterm birth (ePTB) to avoid stillbirths. This study evaluated the predictive value of fetal estimated weight (EFW) and Doppler indices before adverse perinatal outcomes.

Design: Retrospective multicentre cohort study.

Ductus Venosus Agenesis in Monochorionic Twin Pregnancies Complicated by Fetal Growth Restriction: When to Deliver?

The prevalence of ductus venosus agenesis (ADV) in singleton pregnancies ranges from 0.04% to 0.15%, while its prevalence in twins remains largely unknown.

Effect of acute histologic chorioamnionitis on bronchopulmonary dysplasia and mortality rate among extremely low gestational age neonates: A retrospective case-control study.

Objective: To evaluate whether acute histologic chorioamnionitis (HCA) diagnosed in the placenta may be associated with an increased occurrence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) or death among extremely low gestational age neonates (ELGAN).

Methods: This Italian single-center case-control retrospective study involved ELGAN admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit between January 2019 and June 2022. Infants born from pregnant women with acute and severe HCA, identified as stage ≥2 and grade 2 HCA, (HCA-infants) were compared with infants of pregnant women without chorioamnionitis or with stage 1, grade 1 chorioamnionitis (no-HCA-infants).
