Introduction Multifetal pregnancies, which account for 2-4% of births worldwide, have increased in recent years. Twin pregnancies carry a higher risk of preterm birth and associated neonatal morbimortality, with monochorionic twins considered at greater risk. This study investigates the influence of chorionicity on neurodevelopmental outcomes in preterm twins.

Background: To date, there have been no studies in Poland on weight gain in women with twin pregnancies in relation to recommendations.
Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the gestational weight gain of women with twin pregnancies depending on their body weight before pregnancy, and to assess the relationship between the observed weight gain and the neonatal birth weight.
Material And Methods: The study was conducted among 50 women in twin pregnancies and their 100 newborns delivered after 36 weeks of gestation.

Background: Evidence suggests that the intrauterine environment shapes offspring cardiovascular disease risk. Although placental dysfunction may be an important pathophysiologic pathway, numerous parental and pregnancy characteristics that influence offspring blood pressure are strong confounders of the mechanistic role of the placenta in observational analyses of singletons. Therefore, we leverage twin- and sibling-based comparison designs to determine whether placental pathology is associated with offspring blood pressure at age 7 while mitigating major sources of confounding.

Twin pregnancies account for 3% of all pregnancies and they are burdened by higher morbidity and mortality compared to singletons. The role of ultrasound in the screening, diagnosis and management of possible complications of twin pregnancies has been widely investigated in the current literature. However, despite the progress that have been made in the last decades regarding treatment and evidence-based management of complications, twin pregnancies remain at higher risk of adverse outcomes, requiring therefore dedicated surveillance.
